multiple - choice question
when light is absorbed, it is changes into ____________.
□ a full spectrum
□ heat
□ colorful rainbows
When light is absorbed by an object, according to the principle of energy conversion in physics, the energy carried by the light is transformed. A full spectrum is related to the range of wavelengths of light, not a form of energy that light is converted into upon absorption. Colorful rainbows are formed by the refraction, reflection, and dispersion of light in water droplets, not by light being absorbed. Heat is a common form of energy that light energy can be converted into when light is absorbed by materials (for example, black objects absorb more light and get warmer as the light energy is converted to heat energy).
