Well, it's Been established that holograms have a pseudo physical presence they can interact with things, therefore it seems to me that the emitter would have to absorb the energy and do something with it. Typical ways that excess energy is dissipated is either by light or heat. It could possibly be built with some kind of external heat sink, so the emitter could possibly shut down until it had dissipated enough heat to operate normally again?
If the projection is hit by a phaser blast or other energy weapon the mobile emitter is forced to dissipate the extra energy by use of an external heatsink on the case. If the energy weapon is set high enough this is enough to disrupt the operation of the mobile emitter, either reducing the hologram's complexity or shutting down entirely, for example if the Energy weapon is set to kill or disintegrate. In these cases the mobile emitter would be too hot to touch for most organic lifeforms, also Providing a form of defence so the technology is less easily tampered with or stolen.
