What causes the emission of radiant energy that produces characteristics spectral lines?

When the electrons absorb energy from a source, such as heat, they move to an excited state (farther from the atoms nucleus). They then release the energy in the form of light which produces the observed spectral lines of color. Once the energy is released, the electrons move back to a lower energy level (ground state).

Is the emission of radiant energy in the form of waves or particles?
It is emitted in waves.
What are the characteristics of radiant energy?
Radiant Energy is electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse waves. Radiant energy includes visible light, x-rays, gamma rays and radio waves
Which household heating device produces both heat and light?
A radiant heater, or an infra-red light bulb, a ceramic hob.
What are characteristics of energy?
Radiant Energy is electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse waves. Radiant energy includes visible light, x-rays, gamma rays and radio waves
Which method of heat transfer is the most important in a structure fire?
convection
What causes the emission of radiant energy that produces spectral lines?
The cause is the transition of electrons after the interaction with a photon.
What causes the emission of radiant energy?
What causes the emission of radiant energy?Well radiant energy's definition is the movement of photons. So in conclusion i would say kinetic energy cause radiant energy.
What is giving off radiant energy?
Emission is giving off radiant energy.
What are t he difference between reflection and emission?
reflecttion is a part of incidentradiant but emission may be different of incident radiant.
Is the emission of radiant energy in the form of waves or particles?
It is emitted in waves.
What does line spectrum tell us?
The bright line emission spectrum tells us the amount of energy between the exited and ground state. When electrons move from an exited state to a ground state, radiant energy of a specific frequency is emitted this creates spectral lines.
Does radiant energy come from the sun?
Yes, the sun is a source of radiant energy. The light the sun produces is radiant energy.
A burning fire produces what kind of energy?
Radiant and thermal
Spectral lines produced from the radiant energy emitted from excited atoms are thought to be due to the movements of electrons?
From higher to lower energy levels
What are characteristics of radiant energy?
Radiant Energy is electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse waves. Radiant energy includes visible light, x-rays, gamma rays and radio waves
What are the characteristics of radiant energy?
Radiant Energy is electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse waves. Radiant energy includes visible light, x-rays, gamma rays and radio waves
What is energy of radiant objects such as fire?
Radiant energy is exothermic energy. Fire is a chemical reaction that produces heat. This heat is released as a result of the exothermic chemical reaction.
