Definition: Absorption, in colloquial usage, refers to a chemical reaction where a substance absorbs energy from an external stimulus and transforms it into heat or light. This transformation can occur through various processes such as the absorption of light by crystals (such as quartz), the absorption of infrared radiation by materials (e.g., metals) or the absorption of electromagnetic waves by materials (e.g., glass). Absorptions are important in many applications, including electronics, medicine, and cooking.
