So I have to put the third cube at the next highest energy state.

所以我必须将第三个立方体置于下一个最高能量状态。

Or in the case of electrons, when they get further away from a high energy state, the coulomb force is weaker, right?

或者就电子而言，当它们远离高能态时， 库仑力会变弱， 对吗？

In atomic clocks, the electrons around an atom's nucleus are jolted into a higher energy state by incoming radiation of a specific frequency.

在原子钟中，原子核周围的电子受到特定频率的入射辐射而进入更高的能态。

The opposite is true as well; electrons can be in a higher energy state, up on a higher step, and then give off energy when they jump down.

反之亦然；电子可以处于一个更高的能量状态，在一个更高的台阶上，然后在它们跳下来时释放能量。

And then we, in the last video, we said, OK, the electrons fill up the orbitals from lowest energy state to high energy state.

然后我们在上一个视频中说，好吧，电子从最低能态到高能态填满了轨道。

And maybe if, after it gets excited-- these are words that you hear physicists and chemists say a lot-- but excited just means that energy was put into the electron and it went to a higher energy state.

也许，如果，在它被激发之后——这些是你经常听到物理学家和化学家说的话——但激发只是意味着能量被注入电子，它进入了更高的能量状态。

But, essentially, if you view light as a bunch of packets, as a bunch of photons, and a photon hits an electron in a certain energy state, all of a sudden it will enter a higher energy state.

但是，从本质上讲， 如果你把光看成一束光子，一束光子，一个光子撞击一个处于特定能量状态的电子， 它会突然进入一个更高的能量状态。
