In photoelectric effect momentum of the photon is transferred to electron, what happens to the EM field? Is it absorbed by the atom.

Profesor and what about when the body absorbs ligth, like sun beams, to produce heat. Does this photons are also absorb by the electrons in the atoms causing them to vibrate ?

Michel,
There is a small mistake in the title: it should be "photons" instead of "protons".
