Yes. When electrons go from a higher energy orbital to a lower one, they release photons (ie: light).

Why sodium give a flame test?

Its electrons are excited to a higher energy state in the flame, and then they immediately release that energy, which is visible as yellow light.

When electrons are excited out of their orbitals do they release light energy?

It takes energy to get those electrons up out of their orbitals. It is when they "fall back" and return to their orbitals that they release energy. The energy released will be electromagnetic energy, and if the energy is high enough (but not too high), it will appear as visible light. This is what is happening in a fluorescent tube when it is turned on and emitting light.


What causes a bright-line spectrum?

when you add energy, electrons move to a higher energy level (orbit). WHen they come back down, they release energy. If that energy (wave length) is in the visible light range, we see color.


What causes an atom to release energy in the form of visible wavelengths of light?

When an atom releases energy in the form of visible wavelengths of light, it indicates that an electron in that atom has gone from an excited energy level, back down to a lower energy level.


Do all heated elements give off light in the visible spectrum?

What is the basic mechanism responsible for emission of visible radiation in an LED?

by applying a voltage across the boundary of two semi-conductors electrons are forces to travel across the boundary. This boundary has a voltage drop and the electrons are required to lose a discrete amount of energy in crossing it. In the case of the light emitting diode, it is a energy in the range of visible light.


What does the visible light absorbed by chlorophyll do to the energy level of the chlorophylls electrons?

Electrons are released from chlorophyll and create an electron hole , it is just like formation of a positive ion or ionization .
