| Jan 10, 2015 at 21:34 | comment | added | joeytwiddle | Are there ways other than releasing a proton for an atom to radiate its excess energy, and what probability do they have? (Obviously this depends on the amount of excess energy. Is a photon the lowest possible method of radiation?) | |
| Jan 10, 2015 at 21:29 | comment | added | joeytwiddle | Is your question about whether "we don't know why it happens at all" or "we don't know why it happens when it does"? | |
