A higher than normal energy level (vibrational frequency) of the electrons of an atom, radical, or molecule resulting from absorption of photons (quanta) from a radiation source (arc, flame, spark, etc.) in any wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum. X-ray, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, microwave, and radiofrequencies are typically used for excitation in various types of spectroscopy. 4, record 1, English, - excited%20state
