What happens when an electron absorbs a photon

Physics
1 answer:
nordsb [41]4 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

A small piece of energy is called as Electron. It cannot be broken down further into smaller pieces. Photon is a basic unit of light. Photons always travel. They are in a continuous motion. So when electron needs energy, They absorb light. The light is absorbed or emitted in the form of photons. Each photon contains energy which is absorbed by the electron to gain its energy. After absorbing the photon, electron moves towards a higher energy level. So when an electron absorbs a photon, energy is gained by the electron.
