I know that an atom "absorbs" a particular frequency of energy depending on which element and which electron in this element.
The question is (for example) if we take one known emission frequency from a particular element, and use that exclusively to bombard another element for a lower absorption line, would this particular emission frequency be broken down into two or more events. The target absorbing a piece of the source energy and the remainder being kicked away.
Or must the electrons always be hit with the perfect frequencies to make their state changes?
If there is a website that gives numeric data could someone post it for me please. I searched and found oddles of pages explaining the basics but haven't found any that answer this clearly.
Thanks
