How do exited atoms give off light

Physics

Light is produced by the change of state of energy of an electron. Within an atom, there are multiple electron "shells". 'Excited' atoms are those where the electrons are moving in between shells. The electrons move because they are given energy enough to move to a different shell; however, they are unstable and cannot remain in their new position. When moving back to its original shell, the electron loses energy - but energy can't be created nor destroyed so they release a photon. 
There's other ways light may be produced, but always it is produced as a result of transmission of energy (in some form). Also, light is usually produced in conjunction with other forms of energy such as sound or heat.

How to measure the external diameter of a sphere
DanielleElmas [232]
Sphere is that the circular objects in the two dimensional space (1) circle
(2) disk. Two dimensional space is a set of points and the distance of that point,The two points of Sphere that length and center.
Sphere can constructed as the named of surface form circle about any diameter. circle is the special type of the revolution replacing the circle,
sphere is the distance r is the radius of the ball and circle is the center of mathematical ball,as the center and the radius of the sphere is to respectively.
The ball and sphere has not be maintained mathematical references as a solid references. A sphere of any radius is centered at the number of zero.

Determine the magnitude of the resultant force FR=F1+F2FR=F1+F2. Assume that F1F1F_1 = 235 lblb and F2F2F_2 = 350 lb
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

<em>585lb</em>

Explanation:

Given the formula for calculating the magnitude of the resultant force as;

F_R = F_1 + F_2

<em>Given </em>

<em></em>F_1 = 235 lb \ and \ F_2 = 350 lb\\F_R = 235lb + 350lb\\F_R = 585lb\\<em></em>

<em>Hence the magnitude of the resultant force is 585lb</em>
