It immediately falls back to the ground state and emits a photon of light.
Lots of wrong answers out there, tested this on school, the answer is: Drops from a higher to a lower energy level
An electron must absorb or release a specific amount of energy, typically in the form of a photon, to move to a new energy level in the electron cloud. This process is known as electron excitation or de-excitation.
When an electron returns to its stable or ground state, it emits a photon of light. This process is known as emission and is responsible for various forms of light emission including fluorescence, phosphorescence, and luminescence. The energy of the emitted photon is equivalent to the energy difference between the higher energy state and the lower stable state of the electron.
When pigments in Photosystem II absorb light, the energy excites electrons, raising them to a higher energy state. This energized electron is then transferred to a primary electron acceptor, initiating a series of redox reactions in the electron transport chain. This process ultimately leads to the synthesis of ATP and NADPH, which are crucial for the Calvin cycle in photosynthesis. As a result, Photosystem II plays a vital role in converting light energy into chemical energy.
By the agitation of an electron by a photon.

true
To move an electron from the ground state to an excited state, it requires an input of energy. It should be equal to the energy difference between the two levels. This energy comes from collision with other molecules and atoms.
Whenever the electron falls from an excited state to a lower level, energy is released in the form of electromagnetic radiation. The Electromagnetic radiation can be light of different wavelengths and therefore different colors
An electron must absorb or release a specific amount of energy, typically in the form of a photon, to move to a new energy level in the electron cloud. This process is known as electron excitation or de-excitation.
When an electron gets excited, energy is absorbed to move the electron to a higher energy level. This absorbed energy gets released when the electron returns to its original energy level, emitting electromagnetic radiation such as light.
An atom absorbs energy as its electron moves to a higher energy level, or an excited state. This process is known as excitation, and the absorbed energy corresponds to the difference in energy levels between the initial and final states.
Shorter wavelength = more energy. The farther the electron falls, the more energy that will be emitted.
When an electron falls from n4 to n1, it releases more energy because it is transitioning between high energy states. This higher energy transition corresponds to a shorter wavelength of light being emitted, according to the energy of the photon being inversely proportional to its wavelength. In contrast, when an electron falls from n2 to n1, the energy released is less, resulting in a longer wavelength of light emitted.
