    Q:

    		 A particular gas is placed in a cathode ray and energy is ran through the tube in the form of an electric current. A bright orange light can be seen once current is provided. Which of the following explains the phenomenon observed?
    		 

    A

    		 Electrons of the gas become excited, which eventually results in the release of an electron with energy in the spectrum of visible light

    B

    		 Gas molecules are excited and oscillate at a frequency in the visible light spectrum

    C

    		 Photons are released after the excitation of electrons in the individual gas atoms

    D

    		 Gas molecules absorb the energy and convert it into visible light through energy transfer within the nucleus
