Question
When an electron falls from a higher energy to a lower energy level, the difference in the energies appears in the form of electromagnetic radiation. Why cannot it be emitted as other forms of energy?
✓

Answer

As electrons interact only electromagnetically, so, the transition of an electron from a higher energy to a lower energy level can appears in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
