Question

1. consider the spectrum for the sodium atom. in which situation will light be produced? clear all electrons absorb energy as they return to the ground state. electrons absorb energy as they move to an excited state. electrons release energy as they return to the ground state. electrons release energy as they move to the excited state.

Explanation:

Light is produced when electrons in an atom release energy as they return to the ground - state from an excited state. When electrons absorb energy, they move to an excited state, and when they release this energy, light can be emitted.

Answer:

Electrons release energy as they return to the ground state
