C is the opposite of what you want. The solar panel takes EM energy and makes electricity just as the statement says.
I think B is what you're looking for. You are taking the EM energy from the sun, it goes through the glass of the car and is absorbed. The interior of the car gets hot. You have transformed EM energy (infrared, uv, visible, etc) into heat.
Which of the following is the best example of transforming electromagnetic energy into thermal energy?
A. when trees absorb sunlight for photosynthesis
B. when the interior of a car absorbs sunlight and warms up
C. when a solar panel absorbs sunlight to make electricity
D. when a newspaper turns yellow from sitting in direct sunlight
my answer- C or whatever. Please tell me why if its wrong!!! or please tell me why it is correct if it is correct...
