→About Absorption
===About Absorption===
[[Absorb|Absorbtion]] involves the transfer of [[energy]] from the [[Electromagnetic Wave|electromagnetic]] [[wave]] to the material.
It can occur in various forms, such as the [[absorption]] of light, sound, or [[radiation]].
[[Material]]s have specific [[Asborption Spectra|absoption spectra]] indicating which [[wavelengths]] they [[Absorb (Physics)|absorb]].
===Examples===
Solar panels [[Absorb (Physics)|absorb]] sunlight to convert it into electricity.
Dark-[[colour]]ed [[object]]s [[Absorb (Physics)|absorb]] more [[Visible Light|visible light]] and therefore [[heat]] up faster than light-[[colour]]ed [[object]]s.
