Is this light converted into Kinetic energy? I don't see how this is possible.

  Photons are absorbed by surfaces and those surfaces heat up--this is how radiative heating (as opposed to conduction or convection) works. This works so well in fact that it burned the shadows of Japanese into surfaces when the bombs fell. Nukes are fucking terrifying.

    Oh wow! Thank you for explaining.
