In atomic physics, what occurs when an atomic electron transitions from an outer energy level to an inner lower energy level?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. A photon of energy equal to the energy difference between levels is emitted

  1. Step 1: In physics under the North Macedonian State Matura syllabus, Downward electronic transitions emit photons with frequency . Answer: A photon of energy equal to the energy difference between levels is emitted. Why not the others: A photon is absorbed by the nucleus results from an incorrect physical formulation.
