The quantum theory and the electromagnetic wave theory provide an<br />

explanation of radiant energy that is appropriate for the purposes of<br />

nondestructive testing. Whether it behaves like a wave or like a particle, light<br />

is radiation produced by atomic or molecular processes. That is, in an<br />

incandescent body, a gas discharge or a solid state device, light is produced<br />

when excited electrons have just reverted to more stable positions in their<br />

respective atoms, thereby releasing energy.<br />
