when electromagnetic waves are by a material, the energy of the photons is transferred to the atoms or molecules, increasing their energy
refracted transmitted absorbed reflected

Explanation:

When electromagnetic waves are absorbed by a material, the energy of the photons is transferred to the atoms or molecules. Refraction is the bending of waves, transmission is the passing through of waves, and reflection is the bouncing back of waves. Only absorption involves energy transfer to the material's atoms/molecules.

Answer:

absorbed
