Yes you can embed PHP in html files, and they can have any extension, but the recommended way is to use the .php extension (and not .html) because if you will use .html, the server would need to parse for php code any simple .html file that doesn't need to be parsed.
Of course, this is not very important for sites with very little traffic, or for sites that don't use static html at all.
But if you want to use php in .html files, then the web server must be configured to consider .html files as php files.
