Not quite. Remember that electrons are part particles and part waves.
Light is given off when an electron drops from one energy state to a lower one.
In answer to a different question, and may be the one you ask,
When light strikes a phosphor, the electrons in the phosphor absorb energy, and give it off some time later. This is Phosphorescence.
What else can I help you with?
How do periscopes reflect from light?
Light from a distant object strikes the top mirror and is then reflected at an angle of 90 degrees down the periscope tube. At the bottom of the periscope, the light strikes another mirror and is then reflected into the viewer's eye. hope this helped :>
Is the diamond source of light?
No. Diamonds reflect and refract light. Without a light source, a diamond cannot be seen.No, a diamond is not a source of light. A cut diamond appears to sparkle because it is very good at scattering light that strikes it.
Why are mirrors made of silver?
the surface ejects more electrons such that it leaves the surface to shine enough and reflect light.
What color would a strawberry appear to be under a white light?
it would appear black because no red light strikes it
Do solar panels reflect light?
no, solar panels don't reflect light
What is ejected when light strikes a metal surface?
Electrons are ejected from a metal surface when light strikes it. This phenomenon is known as the photoelectric effect. The ejected electrons are called photoelectrons.
Will light always reflect light at the same angle it strikes the mirror?
Yes, according to the law of reflection, light will reflect off a mirror at the same angle it strikes it. This principle is known as the angle of incidence being equal to the angle of reflection.
What happens if the light strikes on an cardboard?
If light strikes cardboard, the cardboard will absorb some of the light and reflect the rest. The color and thickness of the cardboard will affect how much light is absorbed or reflected.
What is the first most immediate thing that happens when light strikes chlorophyl molecule?
When light strikes a chlorophyll molecule, electrons in the chloroplast get excited.
What is the difference between the way black and white surfaces affect light?
White surfaces reflect light and heat. Black surfaces do not reflect light and they absorb heat.White surfaces reflect light and heat. Black surfaces do not reflect light and they absorb heat.White surfaces reflect light and heat. Black surfaces do not reflect light and they absorb heat.White surfaces reflect light and heat. Black surfaces do not reflect light and they absorb heat.
Do opaque objects transmit and reflect light?
Opaque objects do not transmit light, meaning light cannot pass through them. Instead, they reflect, absorb, or scatter light that strikes them, depending on their properties.
What properties are needed to reflect light?
Electrons in a conduction band.
What is the first most immediate thing that happens when light strikes a chlorophyll molecule?
When light strikes a chlorophyll molecule, electrons in the chloroplast get excited.
What occurs when light strikes a metal and electrons are released?
When light strikes a metal, it transfers energy to the electrons in the metal, causing them to be ejected in a process known as photoelectric effect. These ejected electrons are called photoelectrons and can be used in applications such as photovoltaic cells and photoemission spectroscopy. The energy of the ejected electrons is proportional to the frequency of the incident light.
Which substance is one which absorbs or reflects any light that strikes it?
All substances absorb and reflect light to varying degrees. Some also transmit light.
What happens when light strikes a photosystem?
When light strikes a photosystem, it excites electrons in the chlorophyll molecules within the photosystem. These energized electrons are then passed through a series of electron carriers, generating a flow of electrons that drives the conversion of light energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. This process is called photophosphorylation and is a key step in photosynthesis.
What is produced when light strikes on opaque object?
When light strikes an opaque object, the light is either absorbed, transmitted, or reflected. The object appears to be a certain color because it reflects certain wavelengths of light and absorbs the rest.
