So a beam of white-light photons passes through a gas and various photons, having exactly the same energy as the gas's molecular energy transition state deltas, get absorbed. We then get a characteristic absorption pattern. But wait a minute, don't the energised electrons fall back to their ground states within a nanosecond and create photons of precisely the same energy as those that caused the disturbance? How come we still see the absorption band?
