What happens when an electronic emission occurs?

A. Light leaves an electron and it jumps from a low to a high energy level (away from the nucleus).
B. Light leaves an electron and it drops from a higher to a lower energy level (toward the nucleus).
C. Light hits an electron and it jumps from a low to a high energy level (away from the nucleus).

Electronic emission involves electrons transitioning between energy levels in response to energy inputs, primarily from light. When light hits an electron, it can gain energy and move to a higher energy level. Conversely, when it drops to a lower energy level, light is emitted. ;

Electronic emission involves electrons transitioning between energy levels due to energy changes. When light is absorbed, an electron can jump from a lower to a higher energy level. Conversely, when an electron drops to a lower level, it emits light, confirming that option B is correct.
