Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When an electron moves from a higher energy level to a lower energy level, it releases energy in the form of light. Therefore, when light is emitted by an atom, electrons move from a higher energy to a lower energy level. Option A is incorrect because when light is absorbed by an atom, electrons move from a lower energy to a higher energy level. Option C is incorrect because sunlight produces a continuous spectrum, not a line spectrum. Option D is incorrect because a rainbow only displays a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum (visible light) and not all wavelengths.
