Step 1: Definition of absorption and emission.

When the electron jumps from lower energy to the higher energy, energy is absorbed by the electron. Thus, it is known as an absorption process.

When the electron jumps from higher energy to the lower energy, energy is emitted by the electron. Thus, it is known as an emission process.
