How Can Electrons Move to Higher Shell Levels Without Light Absorption?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the mechanisms by which electrons can transition to higher shell levels without light absorption. It establishes that while light absorption is a common method for exciting electrons, alternative methods such as applying heat can also facilitate this transition. The Kerr effect is mentioned, but its influence on electron absorption and transmission remains uncertain. Overall, the conversation highlights the complexity of electron excitation beyond traditional light-based methods.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electron shell theory
  • Familiarity with the Kerr effect in physics

Can the Kerr effect have a effect on absorption, and transmission, of the electron.?
Also is there any way to make electrons move to higher shell levels, without the electrons getting excited by light, and moving to higher Shell's.
Or is light absorption the only way for electrons to move to higher orbitals.
I am grateful for your help, anything helps even a few words.

This is all still very new to me, but I don't think so ...

Like anything else, there are various ways of doing just this. Applying heat, for example, is one way.
