Answer:Thermal energy

Step-by-step explanation:

Absorption depends on the state of an object‘s electron. All electrons vibrate at a specific frequency, which is known as their "natural" frequency. When light interacts with an atom of the same frequency, the electrons of the atom become excited and start vibrating. During this vibration, the electrons of the atom interact with neighbouring atoms and convert this vibrational energy into thermal energy.
