Energy Level Transition

Quick fact

When an electron jumps from a higher energy level to a lower one, it emits a photon with a wavelength so precise that scientists can identify elements by their 'fingerprint' of emitted colors.

Why this is interesting

Why do neon signs glow with specific colors like red or blue? The answer lies in tiny electrons jumping between energy levels inside atoms.
