Question

The electromagnetic (EM) spectrum is the term used by scientists to describe the entire range of light that exists with a speed of 300 million meters per second. Complete: Atoms will emit visible and ultraviolet light ...

 
  • A. as electrons jump from higher energy levels to lower levels.
  • B. as electrons jump from lower energy levels to higher levels.
  • C. as the atoms condense from a gas to a liquid.
  • D. as the electrons move about the atom within an orbit.
Expert Solution
Step 1

"Accelerating charge particle radiates electromagnetic waves"

When an electron jumps from lower energy level to higher energy level the electron gains energy and Jumping of electrons from higher energy level to lower energy level electrons releases energy in the form of radiation.

that radiation is in the form of electromagnetic waves.
