njdnjThe term absorption generally refers to the absorption of light. So when the light hits a surface, it is absorbed or “sucked up” to varying degrees depending on the material, color and frequency. Light loses energy when it penetrates matter – regardless of its form. Only in a pure vacuum does light propagate unhindered. Absorption is therefore the ability of substances to absorb light and thereby neither reflect nor transmit it.
