When a second molecule is located near an electronically excited molecule, the excitation can be transferred from one to the other through space.
But association can't even account for the structure of a judgment, such as "Salt comes in shakers," which is not merely the excitation of its constituent ideas, along the lines of "salt" exciting "pepper," but involves combining the nouns "salt" and "shakers" with the predicate "x comes in y" in a very particular way (see Kant, 1781 [1998], A111 2 and Frege, 1892b [1892b).
Somehow, therefore, energy is being concentrated in the corona probably by some sort of magnetic excitation, though the details are controversial.That may be mainly of academic interest.
The outer neurons, each connected to its partners on either side, are the ones that receive input from the outside world.The neural network has two parameters that can be tweaked independently: global inhibition (in which the central neuron suppresses the firing of all the others); and local excitation (in which the firing of one neuron triggers firing in its nearest neighbours).
Local excitation improves this situation further, since the synchronised neurons are likely to be next to each other.This combination of local excitation and global inhibition is a feature of the human brain's cerebral cortex.
Erbium was chosen because its excitation frequency matches that of the infra-red photons that are currently used in telecommunication.Optical amplifiers are, by the rapidly evolving standards of information technology, an established idea.
For another, the artificial fireballs seem to be glowing because of the excitation of the atoms within the vaporised material rather than because of oxidation.
A fissionable system (uranium-238, for example) in its ground state (i.e., at its lowest excitation energy and with an elongation small enough that it is confined inside the fission barrier) has a small but finite probability of being in the energetically favoured configuration of two fission fragments.
The distributions in mass, charge, and kinetic energy of the fragments have been found to be dependent on the fissioning species as well as on the excitation energy at which the fission act occurs.
Higher energy excitation corresponds to shorter wavelengths, but unfortunately, there are not many intense sources of ultraviolet and vacuum-ultraviolet radiation, and so excitation in an electron discharge remains a common method for this portion of the spectrum.
With this high excitation, the atoms are said to be saturated, and atoms in a saturated state absorb less light.
