Three Interconnected Questions:
1. When an atom is excited by a visible photon (KE=1 eV), does the probability (radial) density increase for the valence electrons or not?
2. If the probability density has increased outward, then what normally causes the excited state to begin the process of photon emission?
3. Once the excited atom has been "iritated" by some means, what is the cause of the photon emission - Choice A: electric dipole oscillation, or Choice B: some acceleration or deceleration process, or Choice C: another explanation which is...
