Far below sea level, they contain some of the harshest environments on Earth, with no oxygen and no light.

And instead of having the electron giving off energy as a photon, instead now the electron is going to take in energy from light and move up to that higher level.

与电子以光子形式施放能量不同,我们现在要从光中,获得能量到一个更高的能级。

I'm sure there's some upper limit as there are to most things, like if we think of wavelengths and different types of light, there is so large that you can get, but you would be approaching that level.

我确信对于大多数事物,都会有一个上限，就像我们考虑波长和不同的光时，那个太大了，但是你可以接近那个量级。

That makes sense because we're losing energy, we're going to a level lower level, so we can give off that extra in the form of light. And we can actually write the equation for what we would expect the energy for the light to be.

这很合理，因为我们在损失能量,我们要到一个更低的能级去,我们要以光的形式给出额外的能量,我们可以写下光能量的方程。

Absorption is just the opposite of emission, so instead of starting at a high energy level and dropping down, when we absorb light we start low and we absorb energy to bring ourselves up to an n final that's higher.

吸收就是发射的逆过程,与从一个高能量到低能量不同，当吸收光时，我们从低能量开始,吸收能量到一个更高的能量。
