When a wave is absorbed, the matter absorbs energy from the wave, reducing the amplitude in the process.
As an illustration, when a sound wave strikes foam padding, the energy passes through the material and occasionally transforms into heat or other types of energy.
The molecules of a medium, like water, absorb sound as it flows through them and catch it.
The medium really converts part of the sound wave's acoustic energy into heat.
One way that this occurs is that the sound's acoustic energy induces the medium's molecules to begin vibrating.
