Question
When an electron falls from a higher energy to a lower energy level, the difference in the energies appears in the form of electromagnetic radiation. Why cannot it be emitted as other forms of energy?

Answer
As electrons interact only electromagnetically, so, the transition of an electron from a higher energy to a lower energy level can appears in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
