an electron moved from a lower energy level to a higher energy level. what most likely happened during the transition?
a a random amount of light was released.
b a fixed amount of energy was absorbed.
c a fixed amount of energy was released.
d a random amount of light was absorbed.

Explanation:

1. For the first question, in physics, the energy level of a particle higher than the ground - state is called the excited state. A photon is a quantum of electromagnetic radiation, not an energy - level term for particles. "Higher state" is not a standard term, and "emission state" is not the correct term for this context.
2. For the second question, when an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, it must absorb a fixed amount of energy (equal to the energy difference between the two levels) according to the principles of quantum mechanics. If energy is released, the electron moves to a lower energy level. Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation and its absorption or release is quantized in these transitions.

Answer:

1. b. Excited state
2. b. A fixed amount of energy was absorbed.
