Quantum optics; an introduction by SciTech Book News The energy of the emitted photon is equal to the energy difference [DELTA]E of the energy levels involved in the radiative transition (in a non-radiative transition, the excess of energy [DELTA]E contributes to the emission of an Auger electron).
