During the process of light absorption, what happens to the energy that the light wave was carrying?

It bounces off the material's surface as heat.

It is converted into more light waves traveling in a new direction.

It is transferred from the light wave into the material.

It is destroyed and ceases to exist entirely.

Light from the sun travels through the vacuum of space to reach a satellite's solar panels. For the panels to generate electricity, what must they first do with the sunlight?

Reflect all of the light away from the satellite.

Allow the light to pass through them completely unchanged.

Absorb the energy carried by the light waves.

Scatter the light in many different directions.

Energy from the material is converted into new light.

Light energy is transferred to the material.

Kinetic energy is converted into light energy.

Light energy is completely destroyed.
