Atomemisszió
Atomemisszió refers to the process by which an atom releases energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. This occurs when an atom's electrons transition from a higher energy level to a lower one. Electrons in an atom occupy specific energy states, and when an electron absorbs energy, it can jump to a higher energy level, becoming "excited." However, excited states are typically unstable, and the electron will naturally return to a more stable, lower energy state. The excess energy is then emitted as a photon, a particle of light, with an energy corresponding to the difference between the initial and final energy levels.
The energy of the emitted photon, and thus its frequency and wavelength, is characteristic of the specific
