It can
- warm, perhaps to the point of ablating and evaporating
- resonate and glow
- resonate and decompose
- curl up or otherwise flex

What would happen if water absorbs a large amount of energy?
If water absorbs a large amount of energy it boils.
What happen to a molecule when it absorbs uv light?
When it absorbs UV light, it decomposes. It also replenishes it.
What happen when light strikes a translucent material?
-- A portion of the light energy reflects back from the surface of the material. -- A portion of thelight energy is absorbed into the material and never seen again. -- The remainder of the light energy proceeds on through the material and emerges unbowed and undeterred from the other side.
Why can't you see through opaque material?
In order for a material to be transparent (see-through), the light energy that impacts the material must be transmitted through the material and "released" on the other side unchanged. In order for this to happen, the molecules of the material must vibrate at the frequency of the light energy in such a way that the energy is not changed into another form - ie. the energy is not absorbed and used to heat the material, nor is the energy reflected off the surface. Opaque materials' molecules keep the energy or reflect it back, but don't pass it through.
What are the main steps of aerobic cellular respiration?
a cell absorbs glucose via the bodies blood system.the cell then absorbs oxygen.the chemical reactions between these two chemicals happen in the cytoplasm of the cell and this then produces co2, water and energy for the tissues, either kinetic energy to help the body move or heat energy to keep the body at a stable safe temperature.
Will a chemical reaction that asborbs energy happen with out a source of energy?
No, a chemical reaction that absorbs energy is called an endothermic reaction. The transfer of heat from the surrounds into the substance. In reactions, energy is always CONVERTED, not created which means that nothing can be converted i.e. heat to chemical if there is no heat or initial energy.
Where the energy transfer happen when earth matieral increases in temperature when put under a lamp?
Energy is transferred from the photons in the light to the molecules of the earth material.
What energy is needed to change a material from a liquid to a gas?
Usually heat is needed. but this can happen through osmosis as well.
What would happen to any material if the temperature changes from 12 Celsius to 56 Celsius?
Its internal energy increses
What happens if the wrong name was written on the death certificate?
Nothing would happen. It is not a material defect.Nothing would happen. It is not a material defect.Nothing would happen. It is not a material defect.Nothing would happen. It is not a material defect.
How does energy happen?
energy doesn't happen, it exists. for energy to happen, energy would have to be an action (verb), but it is a thing (noun).
What is a nuclear fusion plant?
Something which may happen in the future, at present it is only an experimental equipment which absorbs more energy than it produces. The most promising type is the tokamak, which you can look up in Wikipedia.
