Fine particles absorb and scatter light, impairing visibility.

Different particles are better at absorbing different energies.

The color of an opaque object is just the combination of the light energy that the object's particles did not absorb.

Nurture particles would absorb the oil and then sink, to decompose slowly and be consumed by bacteria.

These dark particles absorb more heat and so further speed up the melt.

As the intensity of light increases, the particles absorb more energy and hence the rate of reaction increases.

The small particles also absorb radiation from the sun causing the atmosphere to warm and rainfall patterns to shift.

The particles will absorb and re-radiate as noise any impinging electromagnetic radiation.

Dispersed particles absorb and scatter ultrasound similarly to light.

These tiny particles, besides harming lungs, absorb heat and also - like other particles in the air - form seeds for cloud droplets.
