Is the generation of light by an electric lamp a chemical or physical change?

This is a physical change. When the electrons go through the filament (or gas), there is no chemical change, only the physical change of temperature. The electricity to power the light may be generated chemically (fossil fuels or batteries) or from a hydroelectric plant. The light from "glow sticks" is an example of light generated by chemical changes.

Is evaporation of rubbing alcohol from your hand a physical or chemical change?

This isn't a simple "yes" or "no" question.

However, complicated chemical changes are required in your muscles in order to cause it to happen.

What two energy transformations happen when you rub two sticks together and fire is started?

When you rub the sticks together, you convert kinetic energy (from moving the sticks) to internal energy, or heat energy - the sticks will warm up. When the heat energy is sufficient to overcome the activation energy of the combustion (activation energy = minimum amount of energy required to start a chemical reaction), the chemical energy in the sticks/whatever you are combusting is converted to heat and light energy
