This image just made me think to ask again this line of questioning, in caps lock.

Where exactly is the EM waves coming from, where do they start, how do they travel, we see them come out of the light device, where are they before that


draw a picture as to how light propagates.

Is it like ripples on water surface?

Is it like zig zagging line with deffinite nose and tail?

Is it like zig zagging line with nose and tail attatched to medium, so the crest of the wave is a compression bubble disturbing equalibrium of medium?

Is it like the energy transfer waves in a 3d volume of metal bb ball like newton's craddle?

Is it some mixture of these?

Is it nothing at all to any degree like any of these?

DOES A MATERIAL (COMPOSED OF MOLECULES/ATOMS) POSSESS AND HOLD ONTO AND ACTUALLY CAPTURE AND STORE LIGHT FOR AN AMOUNT OF TIME BEYOND LIKE 1 PLANCK SECOND PER PHOTON;

DO ATOMS/MOLECULES/MATERIALS CAPTURE EM RADIATION/EM WAVES/EM EXISTENT IN THE PERIMETERS OF THEIR BODIES?

WHEN A LIGHT BULB EMITS EM RADIATION FROM ITS FILLAMENT WHERE IS THE EM RADIATION COMING FROM?

EM RADIATION LEAVES THE FILAMENT AT TIME AND SPACE Z.

Electricity adds kinetic energy (heat) to the filament. This raises some electrons to their excited state. Electrons can spontaneously lose that energy and return to their ground state by creating a photon. The photon is created then and there. The photon is a perturbation in space through the photon field. We don't know much about what a photon looks like since most information is derived from math like Maxwell's equations. The closest analog would be to a piloted wave, though there are differences.

And you are sure em waves don't travel as electric current, when the wire turns to filament, the current electricity shoots off the end, but the birth of that em wave is further back in how the electricity is generated, but the key point, is can electrons as a group of molecules as a material, capture and hold onto light for minutes and hours?

Where does light ultimately come from.

Does it all technically ultimately come from stars, when a rock falls down a mountain side, it is radiating em due to friction heat, is that em ultimately from the sun?

Do places on earth that have never been touched by the sun, radiate em, and if so where did they get the em from

When an electron absorbs a photon, it doesn't get stored in some sort of tank of photons. It is completely destroyed, and its energy is converted to kinetic energy of the electron. Photons can be created anywhere in much the same way. They're massless particles, so it really doesn't take much energy to make one.

>> No.14588398

>>14588050
>It is completely destroyed, and its energy is converted to kinetic energy of the electron
But only for the shortest time, before the electron drops down and emits photon.

Photon enters, electron goes up.
Electron goes down, photon exits.

Or, photon hits electron goes up and photon dissapears from existence.
Electron comes down making photon appear from nowhere.

You said electricity adds kinetic heat to atoms of filament;
But this is not any kind of heat or energy, this is adding electromagnetic heat energy to the filament;

Electromagnetic energy is photons. Or em waves.

Field theory is such a, coming from a naiave naturalist as a child perspective, sort of unintuitive or must hard to believe, so I really want to make sure I understand and see from all angles and it is quite proven that in fact; that thing which always and only moves unfathombly fast as the speed of light Also exists at every point in space waiting for an electron to fall here or there so that em propagation may occur.

So if em only ever travels at c.
Before the light is turned on, what does the em field look like surrounding the filament?

About how many photons are there traveling in how many directions at c before the light is turned on?

Then the light is turned on and the electrons of the filament are excited by the flow electricity, and they force em radiation to travel that deffinite direction away, it uses the em waves travel every which way prior to light turn on, and collides with the nearest and forces them outward propagate

Where do the em waves come from? How do you not think it's through the wire?, They are kept traveling down the wire and shoot out the filament;

The filament is excited, vibrated, wiggled, because down the wire this electromagnetic wiggle vibration wave is traveling, vibrates the filament intensely, and the electrons holding on for dear life as the filament material, are colliding with the EM field that has nearly millions of em waves going every which way surrounding the filament, and when it shakes it directs local em waves to travel in the direction of a shake

>Where do the photons go when they get absorbed
Most of the time they push on the atom and dissipate as heat. Even in photo-electric/chemical reaction its just heat, however with the right substance and photons you can use that heat to push on electrons and not just the entire molecule.
>what is a photon
The smallest quantity of light.
>how is a photon touched and spawned by an electron
idk what you mean by touched, but photons are likely resultant from weak force interactions. Moving an electron to a different orbital or off the atom has a significant energy requirement. Since entropy is a thing it takes more energy to move the electron than the potential of the orbital itself, so the excess energy spent moving the electron has the equal and opposite reaction of dissipating as photons.

You're stuck in dimensional-reality thinking.
Photons are informational. We see photons zipping around the universe as their funky little wave/particle selves, happily trundling along at c, but that's an illusion.
From the photon's perspective, from the "perspective" of the speed of light, the photon experiences no time. It travels no distance. The photon is an expression of the transfer of energy between two points that occupy essentially the same space, because at the speed of light there is no space, no distance, no dimensionality. Every point in your body is coterminous, same with everything else. The universe collapses to a single point of energy ordered "internally" by causality.
Mass, space, and time are all virtual phenomena encoded into the structure of a volumeless, timeless, energetic point.

For an em wave photon to be emitted by the electron dropping in energy state; There must be a physical surrounding state which due to the force on the electron to drop it and or the resulting electron dropping, (presumedly the photon is due to the electron drop) the electron drops and em wave photon/s (important distinction is it ever just one single wave, is a single wave a single up down, or is 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 as much a single wave as 1 2 ?)

Give me a ball park range, can an electron jump up energy level for a minute, due to being hit with light for like some seconds?

Is this ultimately the idea behind batteries? This is implying photons are some type of energy material that atoms store by trapping them with electrons as latches

The electrons then have different characteristic abilities with neighboring atoms, because are some different distance from the nucleus, kept afloat bouncing between out and attracted to nucleus, the photon somehow was attracted to the nucleus, for as long as the electron is excited it is trapped between electron and nucleus,

Or no its like, electrons are in strict orbit around nucleus;

A photon is coming.

It hits electron, electron moves up orbit, and it stays In this new orbit, because as was the case at its previous orbit there is apparently a wide range of equal band that has the same orbit intensity and it is locked in place with no surrounding force to move forward or back;

Or the electron is not so sitting still, big zig zagging all around and when the photon hits the zig zag changes;

But for the photon to competly disapear... Where does it go what was it that it is and then could completly transform into nothing

All kinds of energy are the Movement of Something.

The Movement of Air by music or wind is waves in the air that contact you, when the music stops you can say the music energy waves are 0, they have dissipated; but air has not dissipated, air remains.

When you speak of a light wave, that is traveling, that is something, something is moving, called light wave, colliding with an electron; you are saying that em wave dissapears from the screen map of reality, all because the electron was moved over;

So is an em wave like a music wave in air, which is only the notes of sound and silence between them, without requiring an atmosphere of background; and when the energy of that music hits your ear the oxygen and c20 and everything in of air that existed as the music wave,

So you see, what IS the em wave that it is traveling through space, hitting and electron and dissapering;

The example above is, the components of air do not dissapear, that made up the surrounding of your ear that hears music,

For a wave to exist for energy to exist there must be matter possessing that energy; for a wave to exist there must be some thing doing the waving, light is something somehow acting as a wave, the something that is able and able to be registered as the waving that is light can be brought to a stop, as the sound waves of music hitting your ear;

When em waves are brought to non existence as sound waves are done such;

What was it that was making the body of the em wave (as h20 water makes the body of the water wave and oxygen c02 etc make air, makes water waves and sound waves) exist, and then able to have no wave, but also no sign of body, you need body for wave. Body in physics literally means absolutely any possible thingness qualifes, em wave must be some thingness, some bodyness must be responsible for it's existence, and so when it travels, and hits an electron

Respond those.

Did you grasp what I mean by touch now?

There must be a point, points, when the electron is dropping down an energy level Where: a photon has not yet been generated, a photon has not yet been generated,a photon has not yet been generated;
The electrons dropping down takes time and space; there is a time and space,and nessecerily matter, where the electron goes from; dropping down, no photon yet, dropping down no photon, to, dropping down a photon is beggining to appear from...

Because it is the electron dropping that physically forces a photon to appear from.., at time and space...

It could be the very instant the electron begins to drop it's energy level (what physically causes this?) It is touching the EM space so that as it begins to fall it begins to push a photon into propagation, BUT, and here's the point to tie it together;... The electron must be touching the photon or touching something that touches the photon, or the action of the electrons body movements could never correspond with the action of photon body movement

No part of Earth has been untouched by a star. Heavy elements, all this oxygen and carbon and metals, etc. only form in the hyper density of stars.

We have enough of these heavy elements because of generations of stars, some of which went super nova due to their extreme mass and created a ton of heavy elements in the process, or sometimes stars not heavy enough to go supernova alone crash into each other and this produces a nova and results in heavy element formation.

As for how atoms "generate" or "hold" photons, our consciousness was created to deal with "medium sized objects," from about the size of small insects to mountains. Our perception of a three dimensional space with linear time is the result of natural selection pressures and perception selects for fitness, not veracity.

So, our spacial intelligence and language are not always well adapted for these topics. You need to understand EM as a wave phenomena and photons as a particle. You need to understand virtual particles. You need to understand EM working via the emission of photons as electrons lose energy, and we have good models for how electrons jump between levels, but it's worth going in knowing this is a useful fiction based on our perceptual schemas. Electrons don't fly on fixed orbits. Perhaps we shouldn't even think of electrons plural. John Wheeler suggested thinking of just one electron that is in many places at once. A very interesting area of the philosophy of physics worth looking up is if particles have haecceity, a unique "thisness" of individuals. Most popsci here is bad but this is a great article on that: https://nautil.us/quantum-mechanics-is-putting-human-identity-on-trial-3977/

I found I could make more sense of it having found out more about the connections to the weak nuclear force (responsible for particle decay, neutrons becoming protons by emmiting electrons most often). The Great Courses has a good Theory of Everything course done by a CERN guy.

...although it does get bogged down in the "particle zoo." Note that particles aren't "real" they are mathematical abstractions.

A lot of physicists tend to think of "particles" as local excitements in an underlying continuous field, not as waves or little objects. This is a more useful way of understanding things because it synchs better with the idea of symmetry, which is absolutely essential for modern physics.

To back up a bit, there is a bifurcation in mathematics and types of things in the world worth tackling here. There are continuous things, like the laws of physics. These fundemental forced are "gauge invariant," which means they don't change. If you drop a cat 5 feet from the ground on the 90th floor of the Empire State building, the acceleration from gravity is the same as if you dropped it 5 feet off the ground.

That's the continuous, and a lot of math you learn falls under this. But we have a different techniques for discrete amounts. This is the world of the discrete, with graph theory playing a big role. This is the world of chaos theory, of actual electronic devices, evolution, and actual planets.

In many ways, we understand the continuous better. The laws of how photons always work, but not "chaotic" dynamical systems, things like turbulence in a stream of water or weather. Indeed, weather is so changeable based on initial conditions that even with weather sensors every 6 feet across the whole globe we couldn't predict weather significantly far out. Tiny changes at microscales balloon to massive microstate changes (the butterfly effect).

Gosh, I've gotten far off topic here so I'll stop. Maybe this isn't helpful.

One last thing, it's also worth thinking of matter and energy as information. A lot of hay has been made here and information theory has solved all sorts of physics problems. Some physicists even say the universe is information ("it from bit"). The transfer of information explains when a photon acts like a photon.

Yes, other particles absorb other particles. During bets decay protons sometimes absorb electrons, turning them into neutrons.

But sometimes new particles are created. During beta decay, anti-matter particles are also emitted. So when a proton becomes a neutron by absorbing an electron (negatively charged) the charges don't just balance out to zero. The neutron emmits a positron, an antimatter electron with a positive charge. These antimatter particles don't exist within the particle.

For electrons absorbing photons:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/physics-and-astronomy/photon-absorption#:~:text=Photon%20absorption%20by%20an%20atomic,energy%20of%20an%20orbital%20electron

Note, a lot of weird shit goes on as particles combine. Quarks have very high masses, more than the total for the nucleons they absorb. This mass is converted to energy that bonds the the resulting particle together.

Particles also randomly spurt in and out of existence in vaccum. These are virtual particles.

I think the key here is to realize we're talking about perturbations of fields, local excitations. There is an electro-weak field (EM and the weak force unify at very high energies), a strong nuclear force, and the effects of gravity. Ideally these would all be unified to one force, but we haven't made it there yet.

So you don't need to be talking about particles being created exnihilo or combining if that's confusing. Instead think of overlapping excitations in a field or simply changing relations between strings of information.

BTW, you seem to be getting at a violation of the law of conservation of energy with the moment the proton isn't quite created by the electron is dropping.

This is a mistake. These move in discrete quanta, hence "quantum jump." Conservation isn't observed to be violated. By conservation is locally violated with an increase in total energy in the weak force at extremes. What? Yup, it happens, but for a very, very short time scale. So it appears this universal is more like the universal tendency towards entropy, true in the aggregate, but doesn't count at Planck scales.

Preliminary experiments in quantum tunneling may actually propagate faster than light as well, but that awaits confirmation. Everything is a law until it isn't. Landauer's Principal on irreversible logical operations was also violated recently.

>The incident photon is completely absorbed in this process and the electron is released carrying a kinetic energy equal to that of the incident photon minus its binding energy. Although, the atom recoils in this process to conserve momentum, the kinetic energy it carries is negligible. The released electron leaves behind a vacancy in the inner orbit it occupied. This vacancy is subsequently filled by an electron from a shell with a lower binding energy (an outer orbit, e.g. from an L to a K shell). The difference between the two binding energies of the electron filling the vacancy is released in the form of an X-ray photon, known as fluorescent radiation. Alternatively, the energy may lead to the ejection from the atom of another orbital electron, called the Auger electron. This electron in turn leaves a vacancy and the process of emission of X-ray photons or Auger electrons is repeated, and so on. In atoms with high atomic number, X-ray emission is usually favored over the releases of Auger electrons, and the opposite is true for light elements. In essence, while in the photoelectric effect the original photon is absorbed, other photons (X-rays) and electrons (the first liberated electron and any Auger electrons) are released.

Zero point energy is pretty hard to explain otherwise. But there you get a shift to conceptualizing fields more as a grid of coils in space that can vibrate at different energy levels. All the properties a field's particles can have exist across all points, they just normally cancel each other out.

But you have the observed effects of virtual particles and antiparticles coming into being and then annihilating each other within the limit of the uncertainty principal.

So the matter of the earth between the core and crust, all matter when earth was created was hit by sun light, but deep beneath the earths surface, hasn't seen sun light in billions of years right? If certain light rays do get through the earths surface, it's not enough to touch every atom right?

So there should be molecules between the core and crust of earth that have not been touched by light in billions of years?


An em wave is an actually existing thing. Actually existing things cannot vanish from existence without a trace of thingness. Looking at a log on fire, one might think hours later coming back to some ash, that the existing wood vanished from existence, that smoke vanished, there was a body of wood, now there is no body of wood, material vanished and energy or light was left in its place.

But no, the material, matter, of it's body did not vanish, it transformed.

An EM wave is a real existing something. It's body cannot complete vanish.

Either it's body hides inside the atom, or it's somehow attatched to a medium like how a water wave can "vanish", but water medium doesn't vanish.

When you throw some pebbles in a still pond and make ripples, how do those energy wave ripples vanish?

They bump into the sides of the pond, and give their energy to more and more atoms of the pond water, but where does the energy go?

Eventually you say the water wave energy dissapears, vanishes. But the water body medium does not vanish, just the wave in it.

When an EM wave collides with an electron in an atom; the EM wave can vanish, like the water wave ripple can vanish;. But there must be something besides the EM wave that is responsible for the production and maintenence and existence of the EM wave; so that while the energy of the particular system medium vanishes, the system medium remains

Ok and now we are maybe getting somewhere;

Maybe the Medium is there; and when it is not acting like little sections of it waving called EM wave photons traveling at c; it is called the electric field and the magnetic field?

Which when atoms, stabley locking into place charges, produce extending from their body, the deformity of the electromagnetic field between them;.

It is seemingly related to EM propagation yet EM propagation is a small discrete squashable traveling at c;

And the force fields between charged atoms, does not appear to be detectable discrete bits traveling in a direction at c, what the heck is going on;

So you take a large and move it this way and call that electricity, and in the same volume if you move it perpendicular to that first movment, a different effect occurs, called magnetism;.

So this force field inbetween objects appears to force the occurance of a held and moving test charge and react it differently whether it is moving up down or left right in relation to a stationary;

So it is assumed, there is a seperate electric, and a seperate magnetic field, and when EM radiation occurs; it is like a twisty tangle between these two fields;. They like get their lines or wires crossed, and this spazzes out all the way down the line, of each field collapsing into another one, like switches on down the line.

Is there a lot of pressure compressing the atmosphere/air onto the surface of the earth?

The force fields around a magnetic show some like pressure;. And when a magnet is brought in those fields lines, the materiality of the lines, rub up against each other; the friction between seperate bodies magnetic fields touching one another and moved, is EM Radiation.

Is light the only form of energy without matter?

That is to say, if 0 matter existed in the universe, the universe would be 100% energy, and would therefore only contain EM radiation in it, because that is the only thing definitionally not considered to be matter, while considered to be energy.

Wait so you are arguing this perspective, because to believe that all fundamental matters body can also have every pixel of it obliterated from physical existence and turned physically into only pure light;. Implying that light/EM is the only fundamental essence and substance of the universe.

Would it being easier to turn an electron into light, than light into an electron (knocking electrons loose with light is not turning light into electrons) hint that in fact yes light is the fundamental, and particles are the novelly constructed/generated of certain circumstance of light combination

Ok, the Medium is not the wave.

So EM wave exists; generated by the mechanics of an electromagnetic field/electromagnetic medium

The EM wave collapses ceases to exist as it imparts it's motion onto the electron;

In what way does the local EM field exist?

There is the real existing EM field
And there is the real existing EM waves in it.

Waves can cease to exist, the medium cannot.

Waves travel at c.
Does the non wave medium not?

How does the field medium exist, how can it be detected? IS THE EM FIELD MEDIUM DETECTED AS FORCE LINES, AND WHAT THE HECK ARE THEY.

Force lines is s compression pattern from all the air stacked on top of each other, creates and banding effect of relative electrons of that airs orbits rotations and area of cycle

The photon em waves emission, propagation, generation must occur at some exact space/s and time/s in relation to the electrons lowering it's energy level.

You could mean that the photon is like a type of liquid that mixes with the electron liquid to make faster liquid, and when the liquid slows down and drips back down it is separated again or the photon is a kind of goo that glooply sticks together to the electron to make an excited fast moving goo around the nucleus, but it is like at the mall those quarter around the wide cone things where a quarter spins on its edge around and around and down and down.

The electron photon goo like as if it were the electron proton goo, or gass maybe even; swirls around the coneness of the nucleus;and maybe some photon energy even leaks out and this is why the electron eventually slips back down, or maybe just uncontrollable fluctuations between nucleus and photonized electron, shake it down little by little,

Any way finally the mixture slide down to lower orbital, and squish zap zip zing zoom the photonic electron is seperated and the photon is traveling on its way at light speed, like it never lost a breath or step

In that post I was asking:

Is there any actual up and down or back and forth waveness to light?

Ripples on surface of water dont go up and down up and down like an electric digital sinoscope sine wave.

Water Wave is a displacement of mass down which creates a displacement of water up, the water displaced up travels forward;

The water itself doesn't travel or move forward;

The down up travels forward.

If you drop a pebble into water, can you make 1 single ripple, or is it always a few concentric? Just because the nature of the mediums recoil and reverb?

Or can you drop a little tiny pebble just touch it to the surface and make 1 outward propagating single ripple?

It wouldn't look so up down up down wave,
But would it be called a wave, it would mainly be an up, a little hill bump of water traveling forward;

So a photon is like that?

Does a photon spread out laterally like water wave ripple?.

Light is often called wave because it is often registered consistent impact from stars, so 5x 7x 5x 7x 5x 7x

Can be called a wave, and it physically may not have anything to do with any up down up down side to side to side to side body movement

I can't ask a book questions.
I'm only interested in what is not known.
The mysteries, uncertainties, problems, inadequacies, errors, misalignments, imperfections, incongruences, inequalities, misunderstandings of the current state of theoretical fundamental physics.

I understand you need to learn the rules before you break them, that you need to understand the 95% that may be right before you grapple with the 5% that may be foreignly unknown.
I know a decent enough amount to ask questions to those in the world that may know the greatest deal amount, to try to provoke them towards thinking in the directions and ways towards solving mysteries and problems in the field.

I was asking that because if any light waves actually do have some bodily back and forth component, then what prevents the momentum of the downward motion from not continuing to go down, what is the forcing pressure that would cause a back and forth for forget 10 million miles, 10 feet, how would any wave like back and forth be forced to contain that complex motion, and not just have it's momentum sprawl out into immediate decoherence?

Like shooting a simple wave encoded message in a slinkies wave function as you shoot it out 100 yards with a wave function encoded in it's up down wave pattern.

Maybe it would travel 100 yards with it's body wiggle waggling? The same pattern up and down?

Maybe air and gravity decay it's pattern?

Maybe in vacuum if you shot a slinky out and gave it a certain vibratory wave function pattern that equals some simple encoded language, hello for instance, that someone will detect 100 yards away,

If this was done in space vacuum would the slinky be able to maintain for 100 yards or 100,000 yards it's consistent vibratory up down encoded wiggle?

But if this was to relate to light in any way even .01%,

Light would have to have some bodyness at all to some degree at all.

Now another way the slinky in space idea is attempted to get closer to encapsulating how light might exist and travel,

If we shoot 100,000 slinkies back to back to back

Or if one slinky 100,000 miles long

Or 100,000 billion slinkies each 100,000 billion light years long

Ohh, but how much light would exist if all the atoms of stars were kept apart?

How much of light wave existence is due to stars, which are non light particles, bouncing into each other generating light waves?


So you say everything is energy, you can't or won't really define what the word and thing means I give several attempts and examples, but you say everything is energy, yet there is matter, and matter hitting matter is producing a lot of energy, and light is energy but never matter and matter is energy because everything is energy and matter is light, but light is never matter and nothing about it is ever matter like,

And theoretically if all matter were to be seperated and made motionless,
That would be a great minimizing in the existence of em waves,

Or it is thought matter cannot help but move and vibrate around;

It is just an utterly crazy set of circumstances that led to electrons and quarks and protons and neutrons being so numerously and homogenously seperatedly gathered in giant systems called Galaxy and solars, and so its hard to think about these tightly bound extremely vibratory packs of equally spaced perfection, from not constantly at every point zipping and bobbling and buzzing, so it is concluded obviously this crazy movement and motion is a large amount of potential moveability so fundamentally, motion and movability power is called energy, so whatever matter is is intimately attatched to this fact of violent constant moving,

But so much of this stuff is zoomed in tiny stuff, so, moving some Planck lengths in pico seconds is not such a violent motion for a tiny tiny atom or subatomic particles;

There is that fundamental chain mail like bracing which from more and more macro structures forces making things occur at different forces every which way, so the atoms in grass or pavement or ocean or foot or stone, they are constantly feeling surrounding signals and pressues of forces and movements and frictions,

Interesting take even if a meme, forget about everything u know of science and assume that the heaviest mass density (nigger holes) becomes opaque as the energy required to emit luminosity (through the movement of particles) is increasingly exponential till we reach an almost infinite point. In the other way, photons are able to emit luminosity by movement as their massless density (or near massless) and the energy required (or fluctuated from) has a higher domain to emanate.
This is a completely unscientific take but you really made me think with your post.
Also it kind of matches with reality: the higher mass density, the higher opacity (you are more opaque than a body of water) and the lower mas density u become more opaque and luminous (but actually we only consider light the specific massless density or near massless, not being able to perceive the midle scales with our human senses)

Answer how does light exist like and move?

How is it attached to electrons?

What is the materiality thereness presence of the force lines?

How many different degrees of angle can light travel at?
Like you can aim a bow and arrow many directions degrees, light is smaller and thinner so can directly travel more degrees, it can hit many more smaller targets

How many different stable degrees can light be polarized? This is different than just directional aiming, this is a matter of body quality orientation, if the arrow wobbled back and forth, when you fired it how many different orientations, degrees, the wobble can line up with, we tend to use 360

Just show me a video simulation of how light travels though vacuum (and electron bounce to electron bounce through material; now here's a question!

Let's say we are aware of multiple materials that reacted with light differently

We can shine light on/in a material for like 1 second; and there is some material whose electrons will be bumped up, and suposedly that destroys that light wave that bumped the electron up, so is a little less light let out of the material because some is converted totally into at least some irretrievable momentum ,

So is it always you shine x amount of em radiation into an object of material a, b, c ,d .....and y and z;
And X amount of light radiates out, within T amount of time?

How long on average or are there any rare occurances of many minutes, of; an atoms electrons given light to bump up their energy states, remaining in those energy states for many minutes after?

So that shining some x amount of light on some material, may mean that material may not radiate out x amount of light for hours or days amount of time?

A photon can excite an electron of an atom for an hour? And then the electron finally falls and it's doing so makes a photon appear and travel away;

Ok so now I'm sensing a distant relation analogy to try to conceptualize this;

Imagine theres a kind of string on a table between two people, and one person holds their end to the table and the other wiggles the string making waves, lift up, then drop down, makes a wave go down the string.

A cone like cup is upside down attached to a metal rod, the upside down cone cup has a ball dangling on a string attatched to the cups inner bottom, the ball is held mm from the surface of the table, the cone cup is not higher;

You take your quite thick rope from the table, and make a single wave go down the rope, traveling toward the ball of some mass resting on the rope, the wave reaches the ball and pops the ball up so that it is wedged in the cone, and there is no longer a wave traveling the rope, it completely extinguished it's energy exciting the ball into a higher state in the cone cup
