Air Force, facing fighter pilot shortage, offers retention bonuses of up to $225,000. The Air Force estimates that without a serious recruiting effort, it will be short 700 fighter pilots eight years from now -- so it is offering retention bonuses of up to $225,000 to stay in the service for an additional nine years. The deadline to respond to this unusual help wanted ad is Sept 30.
A community for students. Which energy transition may take place in the atom if its electron has absorbed a photon? A.n = 5 to n = 1 B.n = 3 to n = 2 C.n = 5 to n = 2 D.n = 1 to n = 3 E.n = 3 to n = 1 Help me!!! if the electron ABSORBS a photon, that means it must GAIN energy. when electrons RELEASE photons, they drop in energy, which is why we see colors in an emission test.
Quick Answer. Atoms emit a photon when an electron falls from a high-energy state to a low-energy state. The conditions under which this process occurs happen in two ways. According to the Cornell Center for Materials Research, electrons either absorb the energy from a photon and jump to a higher energy level or a photon collides with an electron that is already in an excited state.
