When a light particle,or photon, hits an electron, the electron jumps to a higher energy state.

VOA: special.2010.09.01

No, OK and that's correct, because each photon of light actually has more energy than is needed to eject an electron.

没有，好，对了，因为每一个光子实际上,都有更多的能量去逐出一个电子。

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。

So that means we're going to need to figure out what is the energy per photon that's emitted by that UV light.

所以那意味着我们将需要,计算出从紫外光源发射出的,每个光子的能量。

And we'll also talk about photon momentum as another example of light behaving up as a particle.

并且我们也会讨论光子动量的问题,这个可以作为光有粒子行为的例子。

And what we predict as an energy difference between two levels, we know should correspond to the energy of light that's either emitted, if we're giving off a photon, or that's absorbed if we're going to take on a photon and jump from a lower to a higher energy level.

我们预测，两个能级之间的能量差，我们知道，它要么和发出的光有关,如果它发出光子的话，要么它吸收光子,从低能级跃迁到，更高能级上去。

And I use the term photon here, and that's because he also concluded that light must be made up of these energy packets, and each packet has that h, that Planck's constant's worth of energy in it, so that's why you have to multiply Planck's constant times the frequency.

我这里用光子这个词,是因为他还总结出光,必须由这些能量包组成，每个能量,包有这个h，普朗克常数代表,里面的能量，所以这就是为什么你们,要用普朗克常数乘以频率。
