what will happen to the photon if two photons enter the same atom simultaneously? when their energies are combined they have exactly the right amount of energy to cause an electron to jump to an excited state. emission absorption nothing Solution absorption There are certain energy levels in atom.An electron is a part of atom moving in its particular level.So when an electron absorbs energy,it jumps to higher energy level from its groundstate.And when it emits energy it comes back to its original state.
