What is emitted by the vibrating electrons of atoms?
The type of waves emitted by vibrating electrons of the atom.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
When electrons of the atoms start vibrating then it behaves like a vibrated tuning fork.
As the resonance occurs, the vibrating electron behaves as a vibrating tuning fork. Instead of sound, the light is emitted due to the reflection of light from one object to another with the resulting colors. Light is a type of electromagnetic wave. So, when electrons of the atom are vibrating then emits the electromagnetic waves.
Conclusion:
Therefore, electromagnetic waves are emitted by vibrating electrons of the atom.
