Solution

The molecule absorbs the photon and the amplitude of the stretching of the O=O bond increases. This is because when a molecule absorbs a photon with a frequency that matches its vibrational frequency, it causes the molecule to vibrate more vigorously. This increased vibration is manifested as an increase in the amplitude of the bond stretching.
