the only thing i can think to add is that the electron will drop specifically into the third energy level of a hydrogen atom when photons in the infra-red spectrum are emitted. A small point but apparently it was significant enough for me to have to learn it for my physics exam that i put behind me about a month ago.
P.S. i have a dictionary sitting next to me and i still make plenty of spelling mistakes, making me a prime example of laziness.
