- 14. state of a system with energy higher than the ground state
Down
- 1. the lowest allowable energy state of an atom
- 2. a phenomenon in which photoelectrons are emitted from a metal's surface when light of a certain frequency shines on a surface
- 3. a particle of electromagnetic radiation with no mass that carries a quantum of energy
- 4. a type of electromagnetic radiation; a form of energy that exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels through space
