What happens to the photons that reach the sensor in our Cameras?

Question

I know that a picture to appear, light has to reach the individual sensors of a camera.

But what happens when those photons reach the camera sensor? Do they stay there and accumulate? Or do they pass through everything?

Answer 1

They disexist. Their energy and information go elsewhere. They are destroyed in the process. The same goes for light that hits anything else, too.
