Which outcome accompanies spontaneous emission after electron excitation?

💡 Explanation

Spontaneous emission emits a photon due to the electron relaxing; this involves radiative decay because an electron transitions to a lower energy state, therefore photons are emitted, rather than changed refractive index because external fields must be applied.
