I think yes. Excitation and ionisation. Let me try my question to clarify in an example. A photon with 10 ev energy sent to an atom. Let's say energy levels are for simplicity 3,5,6 and its ionasation energy is 9 ev. What could or must happen to atom. 1. Excitation one electron jumps to higher...

Thanks for reply, but i know stimulation is moving an electron to higher energy levels not ionisation. Do You mean ionisation is a stimulation also.

Can a photon with higher energy than ionization energy stimulate atom?
