Is energy formed when light energy hits matter?
Here is as close as you can come to a sacred rule in science: Energy is Neither Created Nor Destroyed. At most, it can be converted from one form to another. When light energy (let's say sunshine), which is made of photons, falls on matter (let's say a brick), the matter is heated and it reemits this heat, also in the form of photons, but of longer wavelength that those of the light. If we pile on the heat, as by putting the brick in a kiln, eventually it would begin to glow with light energy, which is to say with photons of shorter wavelength. As we all know, E=MC2, or Matter is really just a REALLY concentrated form of Energy, which is actually moving even if to our senses it is still and cold. When things are burned or involved in nuclear reactions, the universe loses some matter and gains some energy, but since they're both the same thing, the Rule still holds: neither created nor destroyed.
How is light absorbed by matter?
Light is absorbed by matter when its energy matches the energy levels of electrons in the atoms or molecules of the material. When a photon of light hits an atom, it can excite an electron to a higher energy level, causing the photon to be absorbed. The absorbed energy is then typically converted into heat or re-emitted as another photon with a longer wavelength.
3 things that can happen to light when it hits matter it can be?
Reflected: Light can bounce off the surface of matter, such as a mirror, maintaining its original direction. Transmitted: Light can pass through matter, like glass or water, allowing it to travel through and potentially being refracted. Absorbed: Light energy can be converted into other forms of energy when it is absorbed by matter, such as heat or chemical energy.
What type of energy is transfered as a bat hits a ball?
You transfer energy[chemical] from your body to the bat[kinetic] to attack the ball. No energy is lost, but some heat is. It is the same as the Law of Conservation of matter. Hope this helps! =D
When light hits an object some of the light is absorbed by what?
When light hits an object, some of the light is absorbed by the electrons in the material. The absorbed energy can cause the electrons to move to a higher energy state, leading to absorption of specific wavelengths of light depending on the material's properties.

Does the moon gets lihgt directly from the sun?
Yes. Light from the Sun hits the Earth, the Moon, and all of the other planets, moons and asteroids. When we see "moonlight" we are actually seeing reflected sunlight.

When light hits matter does it stop?
no,actually light posess both wave nature and particle nature,when it hits on matters it may reflect,absorbed,rtc.depents on matter,lets teke example of metal sheet,when light hits it the energy of photon contents will transfered to it,so the electrons in the surface will emitted with a kinetic energy depents on energy tranfered,its example is x-ray,when laser beams hits on metal surface x-rays are produced the colour are produced by the absorptiond reflection property,ie,if a particle reflect all light it will be white in color,if it absorbs colour it will looks like black,so light when hits matter its getting absorbed or reflected,it cannot be stopped!

Is your reflection in the mirror made of matter?
No. It's caused by the material in the mirror reflecting the light that hits the mirror back at you. So you might say a reflection is made of light. Actually this answer depends on defining matter. By Einstein's modern definition of matter, which includes photons (due to its type of energy) It is matter. SO IT IS MATTER.
Photoelectric affect what happens when light hits the metal?
When light hits a metal surface in the photoelectric effect, electrons are ejected from the metal if the light has sufficient energy (above the threshold frequency). This process demonstrates that light behaves as a particle (photons) with discrete energy levels when interacting with matter.
What is formed when a meteor hits the earth?
a CRATER
How solar energy is formed?
Solar energy is formed through a process called nuclear fusion in the sun's core. During nuclear fusion, hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing an immense amount of energy in the form of heat and light. This energy travels through space in the form of electromagnetic radiation, reaching Earth as solar energy.
How does the absorption of light increase the energy of matter?
When matter absorbs light, the energy from the light is transferred to the matter, causing its energy level to increase. This can lead to various effects such as heating up or exciting the atoms or molecules in the matter.
