Regarding the state transition of bound electrons, the quantum system evolves in quanta only. Even if the electron itself had a time dependent energy evolution, by a linear superposition of states, the atom itself cannot evolve in intermediate 'steps'.

The light we see is quanta pulses of light from a couple(?) of wavelengths in the Balmer series.
However, the HA is radiating a standing continuous sign wave in its energy state depending on its temperature environment from the ground state to a higher state.

In outer space, a recombined electron with a proton can radiate a long Lyman wavelenth from the most outer of the atoms regular energy states to the innermost orbit to radiate the longest Lyman wavelength (hypothetical, of course).

The wave nature of the electron is the result of interactions between its forces. The electron remains a particle during its wave like motions.

You have to understand that what I say may appear to be purely imaginary but I use the knowledge about the nature of these particles to determine their possible dynamic probabilities.

I call this applied science. Ha HA.

The nature of the HA is described by the various characteristics such as its electric charge (coulomb), Its ground state orbit (a sub o), its mass, its velocity, its magnetic characteristics and etc.
