Gideon Long · Answer 2

An atom’s emission of light with a specific amount of energy confirms that electrons emit and absorb energy based on their position around the nucleus.

The light emitted from an electron is a result of the electron's quantum jumps/leaps (atomic electron transitions) to and from different energy levels.
