However, the more practical questions are:
1: Does it emit more energy?
2: What is the light frequency; though there it might be some problem to measure without spectroscope and/or refractometer. Is there a mining company near you somewhere? Can try to have their lab attempt to measure the light or spectroscope it? They use spectroscopes all the time in rock analysis. Ask someone a favour.
In the lectures of Prof Muller - Physics 10 - Lecture 18: Quantum II (See link above) he has quite a nice description of the phenomenon of changing the electrons, charge and discharge. Look around 40 minute mark. There he explains when electron gets 'super charged' it can actually do 2 or even 3 quantum jumps in one 'leap' - and emits UV or higher frequency light; whereas when it only does one quantum leap it emmits vissible light only.
