Energy Electric discharge 546 nm- 436 nm- 404 nm- 579 nm- 366 nm 254 nm- 185 nm- 579 nm 546 nm 436 nm 404 nm Ultraviolet (<400 nm) Why does mercury emit photons at longer wavelengths than the wavelengths that mercury absorbs? Select all that apply. ○ Mercury is to emit all excess energy at once. ○ Mercury is to absorb all the excess energy at once. When mercury absorbs energy it does not have to absorb all the excess energy at once. When mercury emits energy it does not have to emit all the excess energy at once. ○ While absorbtion goes with transition from the ground electronic state to higher excited state, the emission crresponds to transition from higher to lower excited state with less energy difference and longer wavelengths of emited light.
