quantum mechanics - Does a photon instantaneously gain $c$ speed when emitted from an electron?


An excited electron looses energy in the form of radiations. The radiation constitutes photons which move at a speed $c$. But, is the process of conversion of the energy of the electron into the kinetic energy of the photon instantaneous. Is there a a simple way to visualize this process rather than math?
