Sources and Nature of Light
(Ref. P. 403-409 M-H Text)
Introduction:
The different ways of producing light depend on
the different ways electrons can be forced to
move to higher energy levels in their atoms.
Although the electrons may be moved to higher
energy levels in different ways, the light is
always produced in the same way.
