What do you feel when the sun light (radiation of visible wavelenght) hits your head, you feel hot right? Well, you are absorbing the radiation (energy) causing the molecules that you are made to vibrate at higher amplitude due the energy they absorbed causing you to hit up. I could use quantum mechanics to explain your question, but for now this should suffice. Naod
