Electronic transitions and energy | AP Chemistry | Khan Academy

Keep going! Check out the next lesson and practice what you’re learning: https://www.khanacademy.org/science/a... Electronic transitions occur in atoms and molecules due to the absorption or emission of electromagnetic radiation (typically UV or visible). The energy change associated with a transition is related to the frequency of the electromagnetic wave by Planck's equation, E = h𝜈. In turn, the frequency of the wave is related to its wavelength and the speed of light by the equation c = 𝜆𝜈. View more lessons or practice this subject at https://www.khanacademy.org/science/a...
