When an electron in an excited state of an oxygen atom transitions from the third shell to the second shell, it releases energy in the form of a photon. This energy corresponds to the difference in energy levels between the two shells. The emitted photon will have a specific wavelength and frequency, which can be calculated using the energy difference and the Planck-Einstein relation. This transition often leads to the emission of visible light or ultraviolet radiation, depending on the energy involved.
