electromagnetism - If light is an electric and magnetic field how can it be absorbed(dont mark as duplicate)?

This question was answered here previously but i am re asking it since it a was no explained in detail I actually want to know the energy stored in electromagnetic waves move to the electron and gets scattered in different direction(Thomson scattering)how cum energy stored in field moves to the electron does the electron create opposite em wave which cancel the original wave so energy is bsorbed or any differnt phenomenan takes place please explain in detail
