Im trying to wrap my head around this. If a photon of the right energy hits an atom's electron (hydrogen e.g) it jumps to the next orbital shell, then goes back down to conserve energy releasing a photon in the process. is this how we see the atoms in everyday matter? by the switching of the electrons state from excited to ground? And if so do the electrons have to constantly change in order for the object to give of its light? this is really confusing me
