Quantum electron jump
When an electron jumps from one permitted energy level to another it
absorbs a photon with an energy equal to the difference between the
two levels. Lets call it x Joules.
Can it achieve the same jump by absorbing two or more photons with a
total eneregy of x joules? If so is there a finite time limit within
which the two photons must be absobed and what is the time limit?
