Final answer:

When an electron becomes excited, it emits light as it returns to its ground state.


Explanation:

When an electron becomes excited, it moves to a higher energy level or excited state. Eventually, the electron returns to its ground state, releasing energy in the form of light photons as it transitions back. This emission of light occurs as the electron falls back to a lower energy level.
