What type of wave is absorbed by an object and may disappear?
Maybe a sound wave??
Where does energy go when a light is absorbed by an object?
The energy will of course also be absorbed by the object. For example, when an object is in sunlight and absorbs part of the light, its temperature will increase.
When one object causes a second object to resonate and the second object has absorbed from the first?
energy
When light energy is absorbed by an object the energy is converted to?
atmosphere, land and water Also Thermal Energy!
When light hits an object most of the light is absorbed by what?
simple when a light strikes a surface the amount of energy that refactes that surface is generally aborbed by the object(material) which it aabsorbs the energy from light.

When light is absobed by an object where does the energy go?
It becomes the internal energy of the object that has absorbed it

Who purposed that the energy emitted or absorbed by any object is restricted to quanta of particular sizes?
he did both
Who made colors?
Colours are made by reflected lights. When light hits an object, the color you see is being reflected, the ones you don't are being absorbed. Example: you have a blue object, blue is being reflected while the other colours are absorbed. With a colour like green, blue and yellow are reflected as the others are absorbed.
What does radiant energy turn into?
It can be absorbed and become thermal energy such as by a dark rough brick laying in the sun. It can be absorbed and radiated at a lower frequency (longer wavelength). It can be reflected by a very shiny object and thus not change.
What is the difference between rad and rem?
The Rad is a unit of ionizing radiation, measuring its energy distribution in air. A Rontgen is similar, but it measures the energy absorbed by an object. A REM is a Rontgen Equivalent Man, so it measures the energy absorbed by a human being.
Why does Friction turn into Thermal energy?
When the mechanical energy of an object is reduced by friction, it doesn't just disappear due to the law of conservation of energy. It turns into another form of energy instead. That other form of energy is heat.
What happens when thermal energy is absorbed by a substance?
When thermal energy is absorbed the substance expands to some extent that is if it is a ball it becomes oblated to a very small extent as a balloon expands on blown with air , if it is a lengthy object the length becomes little longer.
