Electrons in an atom can only exist on certain energy levels. When an electron moves down from one rung of the atom's energy ladder to another, a particle of light is emitted whose energy matches the change in the electron's energy.

Summary

Description
English: Electrons in an atom can only exist on certain energy levels. When an electron moves down from one rung of the atom's energy ladder to another, a particle of light is emitted whose energy matches the change in the electron's energy. Different elements have rungs in different places on their energy ladder.
