What causes photons to be emitted from excited atoms?

The energy difference, between two energy levels, is emitted as a photon, when the electron "falls down" to a lower energy level.


What kind of energy will release when nuclei of atoms combine or split?

Fission, the splitting of atoms, and fusion, the combination of atoms, both produce generally the same kinds of energy. Some of the energy comes off as heat. The heated objects are the atoms involved and the alpha or beta particles emitted. The heat in this case can also be viewed as kinetic energy, indicating the speed of the particles. So this energy can be regarded as kinetic or thermal - at the sizes of object we are dealing with here, there is not much difference. Some of the energy is emitted as gamma rays, which are highly energetic photons. This is electromagnetic energy.

What does the intensity of an emission line depend on?

The intensity of a line is proportional to the number of photons emitted or absorbed by the atoms. It depends on the number of atoms giving rise to the line.
