What causes electric and magnetic fields to oscillate, making light?
In: 2
They are basically produced from electrons changing orbits, jumping from outer ones to inner ones, not spirally. This creates a sudden fluctuation in fields, causing a self replicating oscillation like someone has explained before. As the orbits or shells have a definite energy levels, the light frequency released is always fixed , according to what change of orbits occured. That’s why it’s always an integral multiple of planck’s constant.
