Once upon a time there lived Electra the electron

• ..

2
Electra lived on the second energy level of an
oxygen atom with 5 brothers and sisters
And two more brothers who lived in the basement,
but we wont worry about them
3
Electras oxygen atom home floated hundreds of
miles up in the Earths atmosphere
Electra
4
Electra yearned for the day when she would get
jolted by a high energy particle from the sun.
And jump from resting in her room on level two
to a HIGHER energy level maybe all the way up to
level 6
5
Just then ZAP Electra gets zapped with a high
energy particle from the sun and IMMEDIATELY ends
up on energy level 6

• Electra feels VERY EXCITED on the new room on
  level 6

6
But after a time, Electra realizes shed MUCH
rather be at REST back on level 2
Electra got jolted up to here
Electra wants to be back at rest
7
Electra knows that ALL she has to do to get back
to her AT REST room on level 2 was omit a
PHOTON of light
To get back to rest in her level 2 room
8
Electra wasnt alone in that moment, billions
and billions and billions of other excited
level 2 electrons emitted the SAME photon of
light to get back AT REST in level 2
And what did ALL those EXCITED level 2 electrons
create when they emitted a photon and jumped back
TO REST on level 2?
