The light bearing packet of energy emitted by an electron is called a?
A packet of light energy is called a photon.
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.
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.
What is the wavelength of the photon emitted when a hydrogen atom goes from the second energy level to the first energy level?
121

When an electron in atom changes energy states a photon is emitted If the photon has a wavelength of 550 nm how did the energy of the electron change?
electron lost 3.6 x 10-19 -barbie=]

121
When 10 electrons drop from fifth to second energy level?
Only one photon is produced per electron in any de-excitation. The number of energy levels it drops only determines the energy of the photon emitted.
What does incident light that falls on an object do to the electrons in the atoms of an object?
When a photon of energy falls on an electron bound inside an atom, the electron absorbs the energy and is emitted from the atom.
Can the electron in the ground state of hydrogen absorb a photon of energy 13.6eV and greater than 13.6eV?
yes , the electron in the ground state of the hydrogen atom will absorb a photon of energy 13.6ev but not greater than 13.6 ev . because 13.6 ev is the energy which excites the hydrogen atom
What light is visible that is emitted by a phosphor particle when it absorbs energy?
This phenomenon is called phosphorescence.
When one electron moves from the 4th shell to the 2nd shell in hydrogen is energy absorbed or emitted by the atom?
The energy is absorbed by the electrons because work needs to be done on the electrons to raise them to an excited state. Energy is stored in the electrons while they are in their excited state and would emit energy if they returned to their ground state.
When an electron falls from a higher energy level to a lower energy energy level how is the energy released?
The energy is released as electromagetic energy and each transition in each atom has its own wavelength for the light emitted.
