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.
