absorption

The absorption of light describes the ability of a material to absorb light and convert it into energy, which loses the light on intensity. This physical phenomenon occurs when light rays hit a surface and their energy is partially converted into heat. How much light is absorbed depends on the material nature and the physical properties of the surface.

In contrast to absorption, there are reflection in which light rays are thrown back, and transmission in which light goes through through a material. Absorption influences everyday phenomena, such as heating dark surfaces in the event of sunlight, as well as technical applications, for example in the design of energy -efficient buildings or in solar technology, where light is specifically absorbed to generate energy.
