Why is glass transparent?
When the electrons in molecules are unable to absorb the energy of incident photon, the photon continues along its path. This happens in the case of glass, even though glass is not 100 percent transparent, as some of the photon energy is absorbed by the glass electrons.
What happens to an atom when it loses an electon?
they jump to a higher energy level
What subatomic particle produces light?
Electrons can produce light when they are "excited," and jump outside their ground state, then hop back, releasing a photon of light.
Is photon time travelling?
No, a photon is not time travelling
Is there any free charge on photon?
No. Otherwise it wouldn't be a photon.
What gets excited when chlorophyll absorbs a photon?
electrons
What bounces electrons off of the surface of the specimen?
This is the interaction with a photon.

What amount of electrons does it take to carry light?
Electrons do not carry light. Light is an electromagnetic wave or a photon.
Do photon have a greater energy than electron?
No. A photon has no rest mass an electron has mass.
What is the name for each atom of an element with a certain number of electrons?
photon
What is the amount of energy for each photon called?
It depends on the wavelength of the photon. Energy of each photon is hc/λ, where h = Planck's constant = 6.626x1034 Js, c = speed of light = 3x108 m/s, and λ = wavelength of the photon
What happens when photon is absorbed by atom?
When an atom absorbs a photon its energy is transferred to outer shell electrons. The result will be the transition of an electron to a higher energy state.
What atomic particles is instrumental in the transfer of thermal energy?
Of protons, neutrons or electrons, the electrons are the only ones at the outside to be transferred between atoms.
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.
How does a photocell generates electricity?
Photon light excites electrons in photocells to the conduction level, thus generating electricity, the flow of electrons.
How did the discovery of the photon lead to bohr's model of the atom?
electrons moving in orbits about the nucleus
