Light Emission Theory

Light Emission Theory describes how objects produce light through various processes. It includes phenomena like incandescent light, where heat causes atoms to release photons; fluorescence, where substances emit light after absorbing high-energy radiation like UV light; and phosphorescence, which involves delayed emission of light. Electromagnetic radiation emitted from atoms or molecules occurs when electrons transition between energy levels, releasing specific wavelengths as photons. This theory helps us understand natural light sources like fire and bioluminescent creatures, as well as artificial ones like light bulbs and lasers, by explaining how and why they produce visible light.
