When does emission of light occur from an atom?

Answer 1

When an electron is excited by some form of energy it enters into a higher orbital. In order for there to be balance it almost immediately returns to the previous orbital. When such happens energy is released in the form of light.

Answer 2

According to maxwell light is a kind of electromagnetic radiation. In an atom there are elecrones revolving round the nucleus in the orbits having energy propotional to their radious. When one electron jumps from a larger orbit to smaller orbit it loose energy in the form of em-radiation.

Answer 3

An atom doesn't emit light under normal circumstances. It just reflects light.

It depends on the atom which color it emits or absorbs, depending on the energy it requires to move to a more stable state

Answer 4

Emission of light from an atom occurs when electrons in excited states transition to lower energy levels, releasing energy in the form of photons. This process can happen when the atom is heated, exposed to light, or subjected to an electrical current.

Answer 5

a photon is emitted when an excited electron falls to a lower energy level.

Answer 6

Atoms produce energy. The creation of energy is said to be like an explosion. It is through this explosion that we see "light being emitted from an atom."

Answer 7

When an atom emits light, the electrons of that atom are jumping from an outer orbit to one that is closer to the nucleus.

Answer 8

in the excited state
