Light is absorbed by the chloroplasts in chlorophyll in the first step of photosynthesis, which makes energy from the sun.
Absorption of light is the first step in photosynthesis to do photolysis of water
Interestingly enough, chlorophyll acts mainly as a "solar power generator", creating an electrical potential within the plant cells. Using this energy, the cells break down carbon dioxide and water to form carbohydrates and, ultimately, organic molecules.
Light is energy, and so like all energy it can never be destroyed. So therefore when light is absorbed there must have been an ENERGY CHANGE. When plants absorb light they change it from light energy to chemical, along with other products. If you are looking for a answer more to do with physics then say and I'll answer it. There can be different interpretations of what is meant by 'absorbed'.
chlorophyll a absorbs light...chlorophyll b,carotenoids etc help in absorption..
As chlorophyll appears green in pigmentation, it would be safe to say that it absorbs all other light wavelengths- red and magenta especially.
Only in patterns of darkness can you not see invisible absorbed light.
light at a frequency similar to the absorbed frequency is emitted
Blue and red absorbed best. Green is not absorbed
UV light is absorbed by the ozone layer. It is the harmful part of sun's radiation.
Water is not totally transparent. Some light gets absorbed when it passes through water. The longer the distance, the more light gets absorbed.Water is not totally transparent.

No. When light bounces it is not absorbed.

The light energy is absorbed and dispersed after it hits the radiometer.
If the light can not pass through a object it is opaque . The light will reflect or be absorbed by the object.
light at a frequency similar to the absorbed frequency is emitted
Visible light can be absorbed anywhere.-- Anything that appears to have a color in sunlight has absorbed most ofthe visible light of all other colors.-- Anything that appears black in an otherwise light room has absorbed all ofthe visible light that fell on it.

Pigments in chloroplasts absorb light energy in the form of photons during the light reactions of photosynthesis.
heat">heatlight can convert to HEAT when absorbed.
Green light is not absorbed by plants, but is reflected.
The object becomes darker in color. If all the light is absorbed, it becomes black.
