When atoms are heated they vibrate, and vibrating electrons will give off light particles, also known as photons. This is a side effect of the electromagnetic force. Every electron has an electric charge and therefore generates an electromagnetic force field which extends very far out in space (technically, it extends itself at the speed of light for as long as that electron has existed). So when an electron vibrates, its associated force field also vibrates, and the resulting forces that are transmitted along that force field are equivalent to a particle of light. Waves and particles are not separate phenomena at the sub-atomic level, they are just two ways of looking at the same thing (sometimes called wavicles).

When the electrons of an excited atom return to a lower energy state the energy emitted can result in the production of what?
A photon of light.
What does a red light around an atom indicate?
there is no red light around an atom
Is it possible to see an atom using visible light?
No, it is not possible because the size of an atom is smaller than the wavelength of light.
What happens to atoms and their electrons while the entity emits light?
The electrons of the atom move closer to the nucleus while the atom emits light.
WHAT IS Very light particle in an atom?
An electron.
When the electrons of an excited atom return to a lower energy state the energy emitted can result in the production of what?
A photon of light.

How do you analyze the hammer in mysims agents?
When you view the screen you will see three atoms which are two light pink and one light purple atoms. You will begin by adding atoms that are in the lower part of the screen. First, add one green atom above the light pink atom and one green atom below the light purple atom. Next, add one green atom below the light pink atom, one green atom to the left of the light pink atom and then another green atom below the green atom you just added. Add three green atoms directly above the light purple atom. On the same three atom chain at the top, add a blue atom to the left of the green top atom. The light pink atom that is alone on the grid is next. You will add four blue atoms. They will be placed in the following order. One blue atom above the light pink atom, one blue atom below the light pink atom, one blue atom to the left of the blue atom and one blue atom to the right. This will complete your analyzation of the hammer.
What was the Production Budget for Light It Up?
The Production Budget for Light It Up was $13,000,000.
What was the Production Budget for Light Sleeper?
The Production Budget for Light Sleeper was $5,000,000.
What was the Production Budget for The Cold Light of Day?
The Production Budget for The Cold Light of Day was $20,000,000.
What happen to light of certain frequency that encounters atoms of the same resonant frequency?
The light is absorbed by the atom and excites the atom.
Is it possible to see an atom using visible light?
No, it is not possible because the size of an atom is smaller than the wavelength of light.
Why can light travel through a vacumn?
That is because light is not an atom bumbing into the next atom (as in a sound wave), but changes in the electrical and magnetic fields. These can exist in empty space.That is because light is not an atom bumbing into the next atom (as in a sound wave), but changes in the electrical and magnetic fields.
