Quantum mechanics

Quantized energy levels have specific values, while continuous energy levels do not.

Quantized energy levels can be any value, while continuous energy levels are restricted.

Quantized energy levels are only theoretical, while continuous energy levels are practical.

There is no difference; both terms mean the same thing.

Absorption: electron drops to lower energy state

Emission: electron moves to higher energy state

Absorption: electron moves to higher energy state
