light is given off by an atom when and electron moves from one shell to a lower shell and a specific amount of energy is released in the process (known as a photon). If the wavelength of the released photon are in the spectrum of visible light, we will see it as a specific color based on the wavelength of the photon.

When light is given off from an atom, it means that an electron in the atom is moving from a higher energy state to a lower energy state. The electron releases energy in the form of light as it transitions to a more stable state.

How light is given off by the movement of electrons in an atom?
Electron transitions release photons.
What is givin off when electrons in an atom fall to a lower orbit?
Energy (in the form of photons) is given off when electrons in an atom fall to a lower energy level.
A spectroscope measures the light energy given off by?
orbital electrons
What energy is removed or given off?
Light and heat are emitted from an energy source...
When electrons lose energy and return to their initial or ground state what is given off?
Light.
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 light is given off by the movement of electrons in an atom?
Electron transitions release photons.
What are two MAIN forms of energy given off by a campfire?
Light and heat are the main forms of energy given off by a campfire. The light is produced by the flame as it burns the fuel, while the heat is a byproduct of the chemical reactions happening during combustion.
Light given off by an atom is its what?
it is its energy emitted by electrons while moving from higher energy state to lower one.
What is given off when electrons return to their ground state?
energy is given out. this is emitted in the form light ie each atom has its own characteristic emission spectra.
What device analyzes the light given off when an element is burned?
A spectrometer analyzes the light given off when an element is burned.
What do stars vary in?
expressed light. (light given off.)
What is givin off when electrons in an atom fall to a lower orbit?
Energy (in the form of photons) is given off when electrons in an atom fall to a lower energy level.
What is light and heat given off by sun?
The light and heat given off by the sun are actually high energy produced by nuclear fusion of hydrogen.
What is light and heat given off by the sun?
Light and heat given off by the sun are forms of electromagnetic radiation. Light is in the form of visible light waves, while heat is in the form of infrared radiation. These forms of energy travel through space and reach Earth, providing warmth and allowing us to see during the day.
How do you see french fries?
light is given off from all things, so the light given off from the french fries compared to the light given off from everything else around it sends the image seen by the eyes into the brain, which we percieve is the image frech fries.
A measure of the amount of the light off given off by a star is its?
Magnitude
