So indeed, in the cartoon model of an atom or a molecule, there are electrons in orbitals with very, very specific energies. So you might think that unless you hit that energy right on, you're not going to be able to excite that particular electron. But typically, the photons that are moving around doing the exciting are not in what we call energy eigenstates.
