No, light is energy in electromagnetic waves, it is not matter.
No, matter does not turn into light when achieving the speed of light. As an object with mass accelerates towards the speed of light, its energy increases, but it does not transform into light. It would require an infinite amount of energy to accelerate an object with mass to the speed of light.
Light transfers its energy to an object by being absorbed and converted into heat. When light waves strike an object, the energy is converted into thermal energy, causing the object's molecules to vibrate and generate heat. The more light energy absorbed by an object, the hotter it becomes.
Absorption, transmission, and reflection are the three possible processes that can occur when light interacts with matter. Absorption involves light being taken in by the object, transmission involves light passing through the object, and reflection involves light bouncing off the object.
Matter is visible because of the way it interacts with light. When light hits an object, some wavelengths are absorbed and some are reflected or transmitted. The reflected or transmitted light carries information about the object's color and appearance, making it visible to our eyes.
Transparent matter transmits light but does not alter or scatter the light passing through. This allows light to pass through without distortion, making the object seem almost invisible. Examples of such matter include glass and air.
Matter is defined as anything that has mass and volume. Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, while volume measures the space that the object occupies. Both properties are essential for distinguishing matter from non-matter, such as light or energy, which do not possess these characteristics.
When you include the effects of friction, it takes less force to move a light-weight object. If you can get the objects into a frictionless environment, then any force, no matter how small, can move any object, no matter how heavy.
Color belongs to the property of matter known as its appearance or visual characteristic. It is the result of how light interacts with an object's surface and the wavelengths that are reflected back to our eyes.
When light travels through a transparent object, it is transmitted through the material without being absorbed or scattered. The speed of light may change as it passes through the object, causing the light to refract or bend.
The last person who wrote this answer was a nimrod and a moron. Okay, so the answer to your question is that light is interacting with the object and/or matter by scattering and bouncing off of it/them.
When light hits an object, some of the light is absorbed by the electrons in the material. The absorbed energy can cause the electrons to move to a higher energy state, leading to absorption of specific wavelengths of light depending on the material's properties.
The amount of matter in an object is the fundamental property of the object. This is matter to weight.
