They are excited and their energy increases and possibly ejects an electron and change their size and shape..
They will often absorb part of the radiation; in that case, their energy will increase.
Objects that absorb electromagnetic radiation receive energy from the radiation in the form of heat. This increase in energy causes the atoms and molecules in the object to vibrate, which we perceive as an increase in temperature.
A good example is the energy we receive from the Sun. We receive this energy mainly as electromagnetic radiation, such as visible light and infrared.
No, radiation does not require matter to transfer heat. Radiation can transfer heat through empty space, such as the heat we receive from the sun through the vacuum of space. This is because radiation is the movement of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves.
It may be called by different names, for example:* Solar energy * Solar radiation * Electromagnetic waves * Light (actually this is only part of the radiation we receive)

The phone gives of low level electromagnetic radiation whenever it is on. It uses electromagnetic waves to connect to the phone mast to send/receive calls. Your phone ringing had no effect at all on the levels of electromagnetic radiation. Anyway, your phones electromagnetic radiation DOES NOT HARM YOU. If that's what your thinking, many investigations have shown NO HARMFUL EFFECTS of using phones.
The sun emits various types of electromagnetic radiation, but the majority of the radiation that reaches Earth's surface is in the form of visible light. This includes wavelengths that range from ultraviolet to infrared.
The energy received by Earth from the sun in the form of radiation is called solar radiation. This includes visible light, ultraviolet light, and other forms of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sun.
One example of energy transfer by radiation is the heat energy we receive from the sun. This heat is transferred in the form of electromagnetic radiation, primarily in the form of light and infrared radiation, and is absorbed by objects on Earth, warming them up.
When you burn your finger, it most often happens when you touch somethinghot, and the heat transfers to the skin by conduction.A much better example of burning yourself by radiation is sunburn.
The primary heat transfer method that allows the Earth to receive energy from the sun is radiation. Solar energy travels through space in the form of electromagnetic radiation and is absorbed by the Earth's surface, warming it up.
