As the electrons go from a higher energy level to a lower energy level in the electron cloud, a decrease in the kinetic energy of the electron happens. That decrease in energy is given off in the form of a photon that has a certain wavelength based on how much energy is given off. So, it varies. Colors such as blue and purple will be associated with higher energy losses and red and orange are associated with lower energy losses based on the wavelength of those colors.What type of electromagnetic radiation is released as the electrons return to the first energy level?
All energy released is in the form of photons.What type of electromagnetic radiation is released as the electrons return to the first energy level?
As electrons return to the first energy level, light is released. The color and shade of the light depends on which energy level the electron has jumped from.
Energy releases in the form of photons. Colour depends on photon's frequency and wavelength.
