Which describes the energy transfer for this change?
The atom absorbs radiation, and energy is transferred to the electron.
The atom absorbs radiation, and energy is transferred from the electron.
The atom emits radiation, and energy is transferred from the electron.
The atom emits radiation, and energy is transferred to the electron.
