What Im saying is the below.
when an atom on the sun cools.
the cooling atom releases energy.
the energy that the atom releases is not instantaneously released
it is released over a period of time as the atom cools.
if you could view the atom in slow motion as the atom cools
then you would see the electrons of the atom changing their
orbit around the nucleus from a higher orbit to a lower orbit
and a energy release is a result.
Im not certain but I would think that the energy release
would occur first followed by the electrons reducing their
orbits.
but it may be a simultaneous balance that occurs in the
atoms excess energy as the atom cools.
the energy that is released can be matched to the
energy that would be required to cause the electrons to
move to their former higher orbit.
and the energy that is radiated away from the atom is at the
specific energy that the electrons had in their former higher orbits minus the energy that they have in their present lower orbits.
each successive energy release would be lower than the previous
energy release.
which corresponds with all of the graphs so far that
represent frequency and magnitude.
each color in the graph starts along the x line at the bottom
of the graph and it is this frequency in the graph that represent the time that the specific frequency (energy) is released from the atom.
so pretty much the entire spectrum is released from each
atom as it cools.
