Question
- substances that absorb light convert it to ______
o color
o nuclear energy
o thermal energy
o electric energy
Brief Explanations
When substances absorb light energy, the energy is typically converted into heat (thermal energy) as the absorbed light excites the molecules of the substance, increasing their kinetic energy which manifests as thermal energy. Color is not a form of energy, nuclear energy involves atomic nucleus changes, and electric energy is not the direct conversion product of absorbed light in most common cases.
