1. Energy Difference

   Linked via "Absorption (physics)"

   Quantum Mechanical Context: Atomic Transitions
   The most precise and historically significant application of the energy difference lies in describing atomic spectroscopy and molecular spectroscopy. Electrons occupy discrete, quantized energy levels within an atom. Absorption (physics)/) of a photon excites an electron to a higher, unoccupied orbital (chemistry)/), while the …
