The interaction oflight with atomsSelection rules:Electron cannot change its spinOrbital angular momentum of the electron must changeby oneunitIn terms of quantum number △S=0, △l=± 1For a sodium atom, for example, the 3s electron canabsorb one photon and go to 3p level. The 3s electron willnot, however, go to the 3d or 4s level

The interaction of light with atoms
Theinteraction of light with atomsIt can do this in several ways:(1) Simply emit a photon of the correct wavelength atrandom some time after it has been exited;--Spontaneousemission(2) A second photon come along and induce the electron toemit:----Induced or stimulated emission(3) The atom collide with another atom, losing energy inthe process, or give energy to its surroundings in the formof vibrational energy.-----non-radiative transition
