Answer:
The energy of a wave is transferred into a medium; when this occurs light is transformed from light energy to heat energy.
The above statement is correct.
Because:
- Light is the waves of photons/packets of energy.
- When it hits a medium.
- These photons are absorbed by the medium.
- Atoms of medium will absorb these packets of energy which raise the temperature of medium due to high energy of medium.
- So light is transformed into heat energy.
