No, light is a form of energy. It can be thought of as wave energy or as tiny packets (photons) of energy.
Substances like sugar, iron and salt are made up of molecules or atoms.
The wavelength of visible light is larger than molecules.
Visible light cannot be used to see molecules because the wavelength of visible light is much larger than the size of molecules. This means that visible light cannot resolve the small details of molecules, making them invisible to the human eye.
Blue light is scattered the most by the molecules in Earth's atmosphere.
The light energy absorbing molecules, such as chlorophyll, are found in the chloroplasts of plant cells. These molecules are responsible for capturing light energy and initiating the process of photosynthesis.

molecules or particles that can absorb photons of light. These molecules have electrons that can be excited by the incoming photons, leading to the absorption of light. Without such molecules or particles, light would simply pass through without being absorbed.
The oxygen molecules are released
Colored molecules that absorb light are usually organic compounds that contain conjugated double bonds or transition metal ions in their structure. These molecules absorb specific wavelengths of light, causing them to appear colored. The absorption of light by these molecules leads to the excitation of electrons to higher energy levels.
When the frequency of light matches the natural frequency of molecules in a material, light is absorbed by the material. This phenomenon is known as resonance absorption.
All molecules will absorb light to a greater or lesser degree
