The electrons emit photons of light equal in energy to the energy that was absorbed.
Electrons
Some of the electrons become excited. means that they have comparatively more energy. the flow of energy takes place through these excited electrons. these are transferred form the reaction center chlorophyll to the primary electron acceptors.
Different elements have different emission spectra, meaning that if the electrons in an atom are excited, they will release that energy in different color of light. The flame color depends on the elements in the compound.
Photons
No, when an atom is in an excited state, its electrons have gained energy, and they proceed to lose it when they fall back into their normal energy levels
The electrons emit photons of light equal in energy to the energy that was absorbed.
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).
The cause is the transition of electrons after the interaction with a photon.
"Excited", or in an "excited state".
What form of energy emission accompanies the return of excited electrons to the ground state?
state in which electrons have absorbed energy and "jumped" to a higher energy level
Excited Electrons
These electrons are called "excited".
Electrons
The energy is different.
the electrons gain a huge amount of energy
Releasing Energy
