bound-bound transition | Transition between energy levels of an electron bound to a nucleus (the electron is bound both before and after the transition). | atomic physics | world point | atomic process | |||
emission | intensity | The process of transition of an electron from an outer orbit to an inner orbit around the nucleus results in a characteristic amount of energy being radiated (as line emission) that corresponds to the lost energy of the electron. | optics | absorption | radiation intensity modification | ||
stimulated emission | intensity | Radiation emitted by a body, such as an atom, when it is bombarded by radiation. The stimulated radiation has the same wavelength and direction as the bombarding radiation. | atomic physics | absorption | induced emission | emission |
