English term or phrase: emitted a photon (Kontext)
The staff member [Frank Drake] from the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank, West Virginia, had also chosen the microwave region of the spectrum and settled on the same frequency Cocconi and Morrison had chosen – 1420MHz. This frequency corresponded to a wavelength of 21cm, which is similar to the wavelength at which neutral hydrogen atoms periodically **emitted a photon** – Drake reasoned that any extraterrestrials who wanted to attract attention would associate with the most abundant atom in the universe.

Werden auf dieser Wellenlänge immer noch Photonen von Wasserstoffatomen abgestoßen? Ich wundere mich, dass hier die Vergangenheitsform steht... Bin leider überhaupt kein Chemiker...

emittieren periodisch ein Photon


Explanation:
Siehe z. B. hier:

gewinnt es kurzfristig kinetische Energie, muss aber alsbald wieder ein Photon emittieren. Dieses Photon ist nun etwas energieärmer, weil das Elektron ein wenig Energie für seine Bewegung verbrauchte.

agree  Klaus Herrmann: Dem Eindruck nach, den ich von diesem Textfragment habe (=populärwissenschaftlich), ist 'aussenden' die zielgruppengerechtere Lösung

agree  Harry Bornemann: "Aussenden" habe ich in diesem Zusammenhang am häufigsten gelesen. "Emittieren" wäre hier unnötiges Fachchinesisch. - Aber "ein Photon" (das Photon)!

  -> Alles klar, 1000 mal "das Photon" aufschreiben :-)
