      @@ScienceShorts Some say that WHAT IS the electron is not a fundamental PARTICLE, and that what is the photon is a fundamental PARTICLE. CLEARLY, this is unsubstantiated nonsense. Balanced inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE is FUNDAMENTAL with regard to what is the electron AND what is the photon, AS they are BOTH inherently, CLEARLY, AND NECESSARILY structureless ON BALANCE. ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY AND NECESSARILY proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE).

      @sakeralabas8642 Год назад

      it's pretty much spontaneous, the electron will almost immediately de-excite unless it has escaped the atom. The only thing that varies is how it de-excites, whether it goes straight back to the ground state or if it drops to an intermediate energy level first. I am not too sure what determines which path the electron takes when de-exciting though

    thank you very much sir for your teaching, I have mainly 2 questions : 1- (Fluorescent tube experience) when the electrons excite the gaz's electrons and after these electrons give back their energy by emiting photons, there should be a lot of different lights absorbed by the coating! Among these lights there are a group that won't be absorbed by the coating and there are some that will be absorbed. the coating's electrons will be emitting another bunch of lights so my reseaning is there will be a lot differents lights emitting (in differents slap of time) why do we see just one of them ? is our brain tricking us? 2- why after a electron absorb an energy they prefer to release it as soon as possible? my reseaning is there a loss of enegy somehow ! what the source of these loss of energy i don't now!

    Really interesting video, thank you. But it raises a few questions for me: (1) In your example with energy levels of 0, 5, 7, 8, if a photon with energy of 6eV is encountered, does it push an electron up to the 5eV state? What would happen to the remaining 1eV? (2) Since there are only a finite number of elements in existence and therefore a finite number of possible energy states, does this mean that light can only have a finite number of specific frequencies? If so, that would mean that there is not really a continuous spectrum of light. This seems wrong to me somehow.

    General question abt the collision of electrons. So when an electron collides with another electron in the fluorescent tube, the energy of the knocked off electron from its energy level, is it kinetic energy? And if so does that mean that absorption energy (energy of photon absorbed by the electron) has a lesser magnitude than Kinetic energy?

      even so, more emissions would still be seen. Remember that the electron can dexcite through many routes, emitting a variety of different photons. For each excitation there is more than one emission (except for n = 1 --> n = 2 of course)

    Is the ground state always the energy level denoted by n=1 or could it be n=2 or n=3 etc?

    How do u find c=3x10^8 ?? Is it a constant of photons? Not sure where you got it from.

    is it the same method if we want to find electron temperature?

    Are energy levels supposed to be negative as away from the nucleus is considered 0eV as work must be done in order to remove the electron, like how an infinite distance away from a gravitational field is 0 ?

      It depends on what the reference point is. All that matter in the end is the different in energy.
