The spectra that you observe are for approximately 1 x 1012 atoms. So it is likely, that with electronic excitation, many of the electronic energy levels will be readily populated. However, the higher energy levels will be less populated, so what does say about the intensity of the higher energy peaks? Is that observation consistent with the spectrum we measured with the spectrometer?
Electronic Transitions and Spectroscopy
The term “electronic” connotes electron, and the term “transition” implies transformation. In a molecule, the electrons move from a lower to a higher energy state due to excitation. The two energy states, the ground state and the excited state are the lowest and the highest energy states, respectively. An energy change is observed with this transition, which depicts the various data related to the molecule.
Photoelectron Spectroscopy
Photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) is a part of experimental chemistry. It is a technique used in laboratories that involves projecting intense beams of radiation on a sample element. In response, the element ejects electrons for which the relative energies are measured.
