Facets:
value: by jumping from one
type: MANNER
Source sentences:
text: An electron can gain or lose energy by jumping from one discrete orbit to another.
text: When an electron looses energy and moves back down an orbit, an emission spectra occurs (see Spectroscopy).
text: Because the electron would lose energy, it would rapidly spiral inwards, collapsing into the nucleus on a timescale of around 16 picoseconds.
text: Electrons can only gain and lose energy by jumping from one allowed orbit to another, absorbing or emitting electromagnetic radiation with a frequency ν determined by the energy difference of the levels according to the Planck relation: Δ E = E 2 − E 1
text: In fact, when an electron loses energy, we refer to it as "falling" from one energy level to a lower one on the energy level diagram.
text: Such a magnetic field is accompanied by a time-dependent electric field, or in other words, the orbiting electron radiates electromagnetic waves and thus loses energy.
text: If the "orbiting" electron loses energy, it should end up spiraling into the nucleus (which it does not).
text: The lines in an emission spectrum occur when the electron loses energy, "falls back", from a higher energy state to a lower one emitting photons at different frequencies for different energy transitions.
