What happens to excess energy when the electron jumps from a higher energy orbit to a lower energy orbit in the hydrogen atom?

The electron emits a photon of light which we can see in a spectrograph as color. Four colors are normally seen in a hydrogen atom subjected to energy.

What happens when electrons go to a higher energy level?
They become less stable and would, therefore, rather be at their original energy level. They often move back down to their original energy level, releasing their excess energy to the environment. Depending on the amount of energy released, a different wave is produced. (e.g. Light wave, Infra-red wave)
Excess hydrogen ion is eliminated from the body largely by?
kidney
Does an acidic solution have an excess of hydrogen ions?
Aye mate
When the proton number and electron number are unequal the atom or molecule what?
has a charge which can be positive (excess protons) or negative (excess electrons). ... becomes an ion - positive ion if deficient in electrons, negative with an excess of electrons.
What happens when 2 ml of HCL is added to sodium carbonate?
Firstly, they'll react each other forming sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium chloride. If there is excess HCl, the sodium hydrogen carbonate would further react till sodium chloride and evolve carbon dioxide.
What happens if an atom is supplied with excess energy?
An electron may change to an excited state, and an electron may move to a higher orbit.
When an electron jumps from a higher to lower quantum what happens?
Energy excess is released. Lower levels have lower energy
What happens if you eat energy giving food in excess?
it will cause obesity
What happens if the energy of a photon exceeds that necessary for pair production?
The excess energy is transferred to the particles as kinetic energy.

Where sun gets its energy from?
fusing something to make sun energy! The sun shines through the fusing of hydrogen into helium. Because the mass of the helium is at the end of the process is slightly less than the mass of the original hydrogen the excess is given as energy.
What happens to the electron as it moves closer to the nucleus?
An electron moving towards the nucleus slows down and any energy it contains from a higher shelf is released.
Why you need 1.022 Mev in pair?
Pair production can only occur if the energy of the photon is bigger than the rest mass (E0 = m0*c^2) of electron and positron, because this is the energy needed to create these particle (conservation of energy). Excess energy will be kinetic energy of the electron and positron. Rest mass of electron and positron is 0.511 MeV each, so 1.022 MeV in total.
In what organelle does the electron transport chain function?
The electron transport chain converts energy stored in hydrogen ions and various other substances formed in early cellular respiration to produce high energy ATP in mitochondria. Mitochondria contain both an inner and an outer membrane, and it is along the inner membrane that the actual reactions of the chain occur. Inside the inner membrane a surplus of hydrogen ions is created that produces a concentration gradient across the membrane to the intermembrane space. This gradient causes a force that pushes hydrogen ions out of the innermost matrix and into the intermembrane space. This exchange occurs through special proteins called ATP synthase that convert low energy ADP into high energy ATP whenever a hydrogen ion is sent through one. When all is said and done, the excess electrons and hydrogen are bonded to oxygen to form water molecules.
What energy source is a sun?
the sun is a energy source of light.
What is the source of energy in nuclear weapons?
Nuclear binding energy, the excess energy holding the protons and neutrons making up the nucleus together. Atoms lighter than iron and nickel and atoms heavier than lead have this excess energy that can potentially be released. Hydrogen (the lightest element) is readily fused to make helium in hydrogen bombs and the elements uranium and plutonium are readily fissioned in atomic bombs.
What happens when a plant receives more light energy than it's composition point?
Plants can store the excess of energy or use it to growth.
