What part of an atom is the source of light energy?

photons


When atoms gain energy they give it off as light. what part of the atom give off light?

There is actually no certain 'part' of the atom that gives off light. As you know, light is made out of photons. Photons are given off by the atom when it releases energy to get rid of the energy. I hope this helps!


How many photons does it take to make 1 atom of hydrogen?

Hydrogen is not composed of photons. Photons are particles of light. 1 atom of Hydrogen is composed of one proton (and sometimes a neutron) and one electron.


What happens to atoms and their electrons while the entity emits light?

When atoms emit light, their electrons move to lower energy levels, releasing the excess energy in the form of photons. The photons emitted have a specific wavelength corresponding to the energy difference between the initial and final electron levels. This process is known as emission of light or photon emission.


How light is given off by the movement of electrons in an atom?

Electron transitions release photons.


How does an energized atom of a particular element emit light?

When an energized atom of a specific element releases energy, it emits light in the form of photons. This process is known as emission of light.


How does an energized atom of a specific element emit light?

When an energized atom of a specific element releases energy, it emits light in the form of photons. This process is called emission of light.


Are protons and photons the same thing?

No. A proton is a part of an atom, while a photon is a tiny bundle of light energy (or light particle).


What particles in an atom are light particles?

Electrons are the lighter particles of an atom. If you are referring to the phenomena of light in electromagnetic radiation the particles are called photons. They are not part of an atom as such but can be emitted or absorbed by atoms under certain circumstances.


What makes photons?

Photons are fundamental particles that make up light. They are produced when an atom releases energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. Photons have dual properties of both particles and waves, as described by quantum theory.


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.


Absorption of light by atoms of an element occurs when photons are?

Absorption of light by atoms of an element occurs when photons of light with energy levels matching the energy levels of the electrons in the atom are absorbed. This causes the electrons to move to higher energy levels, and the atom becomes excited, leading to the absorption of light.
