- TL;DR Summary
- I want to know if it's possible to choose the way energy will be converted, when an electron is excited.
When electrons get excited they are unstable, therefore they want to go back to ground state. One way they do so is by creating photons (e.g. mirrors), but I've also read that they can create electricity (another electron?). Photoelectric is how it's called, right? If so, how can we choose wether if the electron is going to create a photon or another form of energy (e.g. electricity).
Thank you in advance.
