What term is used to describe the energy level of any level higher than the ground state of a particle? a. photon state b. excited state c. higher state d. emission state

B. Excited state

Explanation:

Energy levels higher than the ground state are called the excited states. This concept is based on the premise that electrons can move round the nucleus in certain permissibe orbits or energy levels.

The ground state is the lowest energy state available to the electron. This is usually the most stable state.

The excited state is any level higher than the ground state. An electron  in an energy level has a definite amount of energy associated with it at that level.
