However; light cannot simply be absorbed without limit. [[Energy]], like visible light, cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be converted from one type of energy to another. Most objects that absorb visible light reemit it as infrared light.[2] So, although an object may appear dark, it is likely bright at a frequency that a [[human being]] cannot see.
