Actually what happens is that when antimatter comes in contact with matter, they annihilate each other(destruction) and give out energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation(light)
For eg., if one antiproton comes in contact with a proton, then they annihilate each other and give out energy equal to the sum of energy both the particles had possed.
All the above is possible only due to the Law:Conservation of Mass/Energy

All matter and all antimatter is convertible to energy as Einstein famously discovered. If you have charged antimatter like antiprotons and positrons then they get attracted to matter and as soon as they touch they are converted to pure energy.

Hi. They have opposite electric charges and self annihilate on contact.
