Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Photon emission is the process by which an excited atom loses energy.

Answer: C
 Emission spectrum is a way to observe the energy transitions of an excited atom as it releases energy in the form of light.

Answer: H
 The photoelectric effect is when electrons are ejected from a material when light shines on it, which is another way for an excited atom to lose energy.

Answer: G
 A laser is created by having excited atoms release energy in a controlled way, creating a beam of light.

Answer: J
 Photon absorption is the opposite of photon emission and is the process by which an atom gains energy.
