Objects or substances that absorb any wavelength of electromagnetic radiation become warmer and their electrons are pushed to a higher energy level.
The energy of an absorbed photon (which is the carrier of electromagnetic radiation)
gets converted into a higher energy level of an electron.
And that increases the electron's ability to form a chemical bond.
That is why c. is the correct answer.
Light shining through a glass window to provide natural sunlight in a house is an example of all four.
a. Since no glass is perfectly transparent, some light gets absorbed, warning up the glass.
b. Whenever light crosses the interface between air and glass it gets refracted;
so our light gets refracted twice.
c. Since no glass is perfect, some light gets reflected.
d. In spite of glass's imperfections most light gets transmitted.
I do not know whether "all of the above" is an acceptable answer.
If not, then I would vote for d., because that is the objective in the problem statement.
When light hits a red wagon, some of the energy is absorbed and
red light is reflected.
That is what makes something red -- the red light from the object enters our eyes.
Options b. and c. are partially true.
Option d. is false; that would be the property of a completely black object.
