kx21,

Photons are absorbed by atoms in the gas, in the usual way, raising electrons in those atoms to higher energy levels, and later those energized electrons will drop to their ground level, emitting the extra energy as a photon.

This is what photons and matter do for goodness sake. Get with the program.

Regards,
Dick
