it could be either convection or radiation that can light a candle wick with a match.
The match stick does not retain enough heat by itself to light a wick by conduction. The burning match though gives off enough heat to incandesce the air around the match into a flame. By contact of this convective hot gas (flame) with the wick the temperature of the candle wax can be raised to the ignition temperature. By holding the match close to the wick, without the flame contacting it, the radiant heat from the flame can vaporize and ignite the wax as well. The closer the flame to the wick the more radiant heat can be transferred.

What force is used lighting a match?
The force used in lighting a match primarily involves friction. When the matchstick is struck against the rough surface of the matchbox, friction generates enough heat to ignite the chemicals on the match head. This heat causes a chemical reaction, leading to combustion and producing the flame.
What does vir stand for in lighting?
VIR stands for Voltage Input Rating in lighting. It refers to the maximum voltage that a lighting fixture can safely handle. It is important to match the voltage input of the fixture with the voltage available in the installation location to prevent damage or malfunction.
Can you light kerosene on fire with a match?
Yes, kerosene is flammable so you can light it with a match. However, it is important to use caution and follow safety guidelines when handling and lighting kerosene to prevent accidents.
How is convecton different from conduction?
Conduction warms the atmosphere as fast-moving molecules come into contact with lower-energy molecules until all molecules are moving at about the same rate. As the atmosphere warms, molecules move apart. As the heated air flows, heat is transferred by convection from warm, low-pressure air to cooler, high-pressure air.
What are 3 examples of burning?
Lighting a match and igniting a candle. Using a lighter to start a campfire. Burning wood in a fireplace for warmth.
What do you light candles with?
a match

Conduction: Ice cubes melt quickly on a hot frying pan Convection: warm air moves toward the poles Radiation: The sun bombards Earth with light
Is lighting a match irreversable?
Yes.
What energy takes place in a matchstick?
Initially the plain old match stick is heated by frictional forces as the match is struck. This heat ignited the compound on the match head with the required temperature of ignition is reached. The heat transfer process is conduction. The lit match emits heat energy by radiation. It also will produce heating of the air by conduction and convection.
Is lighting a match a chemical change?
Yes, lighting a match is a chemical change because the chemicals in the match head undergo a chemical reaction when exposed to heat from friction, resulting in the release of energy in the form of light and heat.
What processes is not a physical change drying wet clothescutting snowflakes out of paper lighting a match from a matchbox?
lighting a match from a matchbox is a chemical change.
Lighting a match a physical change or chemical change?
Lighting a match is a chemical change because the molecules in the matchstick undergo a chemical reaction when exposed to heat, resulting in the production of new substances like ash and smoke.
How does convection differ from convection?
Well it differs in this way. Conduction is when heat is applied to an object and causes mainly the point of contact to be heated. For example lighting a match under a metal rod. It will mainly heat the point of contact, eventually heating the rest of the rod. Additionally, conduction can be referred to when talking about electricity and whether a material can conduct or not. Convection is different as it disperses heat evenly through a liquid. For example, boiling water. A single point of the water is heated, then it rises, allowing colder water from the top to fall, heat, rise and creates a current, evenly heating the water. The same example can be used when referring to preheating an oven. Hopefully this helps. Convection involves the actual movement of fluid materiel, either liquid or gas, usually in a gravitational field where the difference in temperature causes difference in density which in turn causes fluid motion. Conduction can and does occur concurrently with convection, but does not involve the macroscopic movement of materiel. Conduction can occur in gasses or liquids, but also in solids. Conduction occurs when the thermal vibrations of hotter mater are transferred to cooler matter. There is a third method of heat transfer, Radiation. Radiation can occur in all three phases of matter, but can also transfer heat across a vacuum. Usually thermal radiation is in electromagnetic wavelengths too long to be visible, but in some situations like an incandescent bulb or the sun, it can be seen.
Is striking a match against a box an example of convection?
No, striking a match against a box is an example of friction creating heat. Convection involves the transfer of heat through the movement of fluid, such as air or water.
Is lighting a match from a matchbox a physical change?
Yes, lighting a match from a matchbox is a chemical change, not a physical change. When the match is struck, the chemicals on the match head react to produce heat, light, and a flame. This transformation is a chemical reaction, not just a change in physical state.
How can you have sexu?
by lighting a match and placing it on ur ball bag
Is there anything I can get that will change the lighting to match all my other electronics?
Sorry there is no way to change the lighting color on the Playstation
