Light transition

Light transition refers to the process where electrons in an atom or molecule move between energy levels. When an electron absorbs energy, it jumps to a higher energy state; when it releases energy, it falls back to a lower level, often emitting light in the form of photons. These transitions explain the colors seen in fireworks, the glow of neon signs, and the spectra of stars. The specific energy difference determines the wavelength (or color) of the emitted or absorbed light. Overall, light transitions are fundamental to understanding how matter interacts with electromagnetic radiation.
