Light is absorbed by atoms photons. The photons absorb the light as energy. This energy causes electrons to increase in energy levels and thus become excited

How does the electron become more excited as it increases energy levels?
As the electrons increase energy levels they move further away from the nucleus, reducing nuclei pull

Explain how the emission spectrum works
when atoms are given energy their electrons increase in energy levels. When this energy is removed the electrons fall back to a lower energy level, and energy is lost as a packet. The packets of energy lost are shown as small bursts
