Abstract
We discuss a model for heavy mesons where the light quark
(u or d) moves in the colour-electric field from a heavy quark
(c or b) placed in the center of a bag. We calculate energy spectra
for pionic and photonic transitions from excited states. The transition
amplitudes and the branching ratios between electromagnetic and pionic
transitions compare favorably with the limited amount of known experimental
data.
