How is the change in electron energy related to the frequency of light emitted in electron transitions?

Its right in the book (in bold) and has a key next to it.


Light is emitted as an electron transitions from a higher energy orbital to a lower energy orbital How long does it take for the actual transition to take place?

It takes no time as electrons can not exist in an inbetween state of charge

What light is visible that is emitted by a phosphor particle when it absorbs energy?

This phenomenon is called phosphorescence.


Where does the particle photon come from?

A photon may be both a particle and a wave (light). Photons are normally emitted when an electron loses energy either by bending its path or by falling from a higher orbital state to a lower orbital state. Very high energy photons called gamma ray can also be formed from a positron and and electron merging.


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).


Is a beta particle a helium nucleus or an electron?

A beta particle is a high energy electron. An alpha particle is a helium nucleus. A gamma ray is a high energy photon.


What is a high energy electron from the nucleus called?

beta particle In beta decay a neutron is converted into a proton, electron (also called a beta particle) and an electron antineutrino.


The particle that is identical to a high energy electron is known as a?

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.


A high energy electron that comes from the nucleus not from the electron cloud?

beta particle


What does the electron produce when they change energy levels?
