Absorption | Definition, Coefficient, & Facts | Britannica
All known transparent substances show absorption to some extent. For instance, the ocean appears to be transparent to sunlight near the surface, but it becomes opaque with depth. Substances are selectively absorbing; that is, they absorb radiation of specific wavelengths.

Absorption: Understanding the Science Behind Its Process
Absorption involves the incorporation of molecules into a bulk substance, while adsorption denotes the adhesion of molecules to a surface without penetrating it. The primary distinction lies in the depth of interaction: absorption is a volumetric phenomenon, whereas adsorption is superficial.

Absorption - Oxford Reference
A beam of light, for instance, passing through a medium, may lose intensity because of two effects: scattering of light out of the beam, and absorption of photons by atoms or molecules in the medium. When a photon is absorbed, there is a transition to an excited state.
