If the matter absorbs light, then its internal energy increases, and it becomes warmer.
But it takes a truly huge amount of light to produce a noticeable effect ... which just
goes to show how sensitive our eyes are to tiny amounts of light energy.
When light falls on matter, it can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted. Absorption occurs when the light energy is taken in by the matter and converted into heat. Reflection occurs when the light bounces off the surface of the matter. Transmission occurs when the light passes through the matter without being absorbed or reflected.
"phosphorescence"Scattering is the release of light energy by particles of matter that have absorbed energy. The transfer of energy carried by light waves to particles of matter is absorption.
The forms of energy transferred from a battery to a light bulb are chemical energy (stored in the battery) being converted to electrical energy (flowing through the wires) and then to light energy and heat energy (produced by the light bulb).
Light waves are absorbed by electrons, which become elevated in energy state when this occurs. For different electrons on different orbitals the precise frequency is required, and when the electron lowers its energy state it releases a light-wave equivalent to that required to elevate it there initially.
Electromagnetic Energy does not require matter to be transferred...that is why it can travel through the vacuum of space.

In optics, the transfer of light energy to particles of matter is called absorption. This occurs when the photons of light are absorbed by the particles, resulting in an increase in the particles' energy level.

Light is not matter, it is energy.
Light is energy, and energy is not matter.
No. Light is energy, not matter.

For different electrons on different orbitals the precise frequency is required, and when the electron lowers its energy state it releases a light-wave equivalent to that required to elevate it there initially.
The release of energy by particles of matter that have absorbed energy is called emission. This occurs when the particles return to a lower energy state, releasing energy in the form of light or heat.

light and heat energy occur in a light bulb when it is turned on.
