Absorption Definition
The absorbing of light by various surfaces is referred to as absorption. The extent to which colors are absorbed by surfaces is determined based on various characteristics. The absorbed light is transformed to heat. Transparent and semi-transparent surfaces transmit the unabsorbed light and the opaque surfaces reflect the unabsorbed light. In ceramic art, absorption refers to the quality to absorb water by fired clay.
