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 light is absorbed by an object where does it go?

When light is absorbed by an object, it is converted into other forms of energy, such as heat. This process increases the energy of the atoms or molecules within the object, causing them to vibrate and generate heat.


Where does light go after it passes through a transparent object?

When light passes through a transparent object, it continues to travel in a straight line until it either gets absorbed by another object, reflects off a surface, or exits the object and continues on its path.


Does light change direction when it is absorbed by a material And if it does then how?

Yes, when light is absorbed by a material, it is converted into other forms of energy such as heat. This conversion causes a change in the direction of light as it interacts with the particles in the material.


When we switch on the light electrical energy is converted into light energy. But when we switch off the light the produced light disappears. In which energy the produced light energy is converted to?

The produced disappears whether you switch it off or not - otherwise it would get brighter and brighter. In a closed room, the light would eventually be absorbed, and converted to heat. Outdoors, the light may go into outer space, going on and on and on... at a very high speed known as the "speed of light". In general, bet on heat. Light turns into heat.


Where does light go once you turn a light off?

Every time light hits a surface, some will be absorbed (and turn into heat) and some will be reflected away until it hits another surface where another part of it is absorbed. Eventually all the light will be used up.

What three things can happen to a light wave when it strikes an object?

Light striking an object can be reflected, refracted, or absorbed. Light passing near an object can be diffracted. These are all the possible interactions.


What happens to light energy when it is absorbed by an opaque object?

Since the object appears violet to your eye, it must be that violet light is the wavelength most efficiently reflected ... least efficiently absorbed ... by the object. To a greater or lesser degree, all wavelengths that are not reflected from the object are absorbed by it.

Where does solar energy go that is not absorbed or reflected?

Nowhere. Energy cannot disappear. It is all either reflected or absorbed.


If a black colour absorbed light where does it go?

It soaks into the black fabric, stone, liquid, mud, paint, wood ... whatever absorbs the light and looks black ...then it turns to heat, and warms the material that absorbed the light.1. When light falls on a Black body it aborbs all light and converts into heat. This raises the temp. of the Object. Now this object reradiates this heat in the form Electromagnetic waves in the Microwave region.


Where does light go if it's Not transmitted?

When light passes through a transparent object does it get hotter?

yes for more information go on google.com ......................................................................................................................... No, because transparent materials do not absorb light.
