Is energy absorbed when an electron moves to a closer shell?
No. Energy is emitted when an electron moves to a closer shell (closer to the nucleus).
What light is visible that is emitted by a phosphor particle when it absorbs energy?
This phenomenon is called phosphorescence.
What does the electron produce when they change energy levels?
a photon is emitted or absorbed
What causes photons to be emitted from excited atoms?
The energy difference, between two energy levels, is emitted as a photon, when the electron "falls down" to a lower energy level.
When an electron drops from a higher energy state to a lower energy state?
A photon is emitted when an electron falls from a higher to lower orbital. A photon is an elementary particles, the quantum of light and all other forms of electromagnetic radiation.
Energy lost by an electron during its transition from an outer to an inner orbit is emitted as a flash of light called a?
Energy lost by an electron during its transition from an outer to an inner orbit is emitted as a flash of light called an emission. Light/energy emissions are released in a characteristic manner (wavelength) that corresponds to the amount of energy lost.
Energy lost by an electron during its transition from an outer to an inner orbit is emitted as a flash of light called?
proton

Electromagnetic radiation

Why is a shorter wavelength of light emitted when an electron falls from n4 to n1 than when an electron falls from n2 to n1?
The shorter the wave length the more energy. The further the electron falls, the more energy that will be emitted and the shorter the wavelength.

What happens to the energy of a vibrating electron that does not collide with neighboring atoms?
The energy of a vibrating electron that does not collide with neighboring atoms has energy that is emitted as light. The energy will be radiated away.
When an electron drops from a higher energy state to a lower energy state?
A photon is emitted when an electron falls from a higher to lower orbital. A photon is an elementary particles, the quantum of light and all other forms of electromagnetic radiation.
Which term refers to the energy emitted when an electron moves from a higher energy level to a lower one?
neutron
What is the relationship between the light emitted by an atom in the energies of the electrons in the atom?
The more energy levels the electron jumps the more energy the emitted light will have. The more energy you have the shorter wavelength there is.
