What does it mean to emit light?

Answer 1

basically its transferring energy

and object has so much energy that it transforms into a charged particle or electron and escapes because it has become excited.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light#Light_sources

Atoms emit and absorb light at characteristic energies. This produces "emission lines" in the spectrum of each atom. Emission can be spontaneous, as in light-emitting diodes, gas discharge lamps (such as neon lamps and neon signs, mercury-vapor lamps, etc.), and flames (light from the hot gas itself—so, for example, sodium in a gas flame emits characteristic yellow light). Emission can also be stimulated, as in a laser or a microwave maser.

Acceleration of a free charged particle, such as an electron, can produce visible radiation: cyclotron radiation, synchrotron radiation, and bremsstrahlung radiation are all examples of this. Particles moving through a medium faster than the speed of light in that medium can produce visible Cherenkov radiation.

Answer 4

Answer 5

to give off light

Answer 6

"Emit" in Latin means "put out." Or "produce," or "give off," or any equivalent meaning.
