When an electron falls from a higher e...

When an electron falls from a higher energy to a lower energy level, the difference in the energies appears in the forms of electromagnetic radiation. Why cannot it be emitted as other forms of energy?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The transition of an electron from a higher energy to a lower energy level can appear in the form of electromagnetic radiation because electrons interact only electromagnetically.
