The Quantum Dance of Light: From Atomic Transitions to Starburst Glow
Light, in its most fundamental form, arises from the quantum transitions of electrons within atoms. When electrons absorb energy, they jump to higher energy levels, and upon returning to lower states, they emit photons—each with a precise energy corresponding to the atomic gap. This quantization of energy explains the discrete spectral lines observed in emission …
