What causes photons to be emitted from excited atoms?
The energy difference, between two energy levels, is emitted as a photon, when the electron "falls down" to a lower energy level.
How many different protons of radiation were emitted from excited helium atoms to form the spectrum?
six photons
Can an electron stay in an excited state without outside energy?
No, an electron cannot remain in an excited state without additional energy input. Excited states are temporary and the electron will eventually return to its ground state, releasing the energy it absorbed as photons.
When an atom in an excited state returns to it's ground state what happens to the excess energy or the atom?
When an atom in an excited state returns to its ground state, it releases the excess energy it gained during excitation, typically in the form of electromagnetic radiation, such as photons. This process is known as spontaneous emission. The energy of the emitted photon corresponds to the difference in energy levels between the excited state and the ground state. If the transition occurs in a controlled manner, such as in lasers, the emitted photons can be coherent and in phase with each other.
When does light emitted from a flame produced when electrons are in an excited state?
Light emitted from a flame occurs when electrons in atoms or molecules absorb energy and move to an excited state. When these electrons return to their lower energy levels, they release energy in the form of light. This process is known as the emission of photons, which produces the characteristic colors of the flame. The specific wavelengths of light emitted depend on the elements present in the flame and their unique energy level transitions.

What form of energy emission accompanies the return of an excited electron to its ground state?
What form of energy emission accompanies the return of excited electrons to the ground state?
When excited electrons return to lower energy levels what is released?
When excited electrons return to lower energy levels, they release energy in the form of photons. This process is known as emission of light or fluorescence. The energy of the emitted photons corresponds to the energy difference between the higher and lower energy levels of the electrons.
Energy can be released from a pigment with an excited electron by what method?
Energy can be released from a pigment with an excited electron through the emission of light, a process known as fluorescence. When an electron returns to its ground state from an excited state, the energy difference is released as light energy.
What determines the frequency ( color ) of photons?
Frequency determines color. Frequency is determined by the origin of the photon, i.e. emitted from an excited atom.
When excited electrons radiate energy the amount of energy given off is equal to?
The amount of energy given off by excited electrons when they radiate energy is equal to the difference in energy level between the initial and final states. This emitted energy is typically in the form of photons.
An atom absorbs energy as its electron?
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.
What is the term for the small packets of energy emitted from light?
The term for the small packets of energy emitted from light is called photons.
What happens when the electrons relax?
When electrons relax, they transition from higher energy states to lower energy states by emitting photons of light. This process is known as electron relaxation or de-excitation, and it is responsible for the emission of light in various phenomena such as fluorescence and phosphorescence.
What particle gains energy gets excited?
An electron gains energy and becomes excited when it absorbs energy from photons or collides with other particles at high speeds. This excitation can result in the electron moving to a higher energy level within an atom or molecule.
