Emission of Light. An overview of light emission. Light can be produced by matter which is in an excited state and as it will be shown excitation can come from a variety of sources. The atoms and molecules that make up matter typically emit light at characteristic energies. The light emission can be spontaneous or stimulated.
Light is the medium of energy by which we perceive our environment through our eyes. It is one form of electromagnetic radiation which also includes things like ultraviolet, infrared, and radio waves. Like all electromagnetic radiation, light is transmitted by individual packets (or quanta) of energy known as photons. These photons are the units by which the combined forces of electricity and magnetism are communicated between other particles, such as the electrons associated with an atom.
