The function that covers the air hole in a Bunsen burner is the collar.
The parts of a Bunsen burner has collar,base.air hole and barrel. Collar : Adjust size of air hole Base: Support Bunsen Burner Air hole: Allow air to enter air hole Barrel:To ensure the flame is adjusted to a suitable position
The air hole in a Bunsen Burner allows air to mix with the gas prior to burning so that the flame can be adjusted as desired.
To change the flame of a Bunsen burner you must open or close the air valve, usually this is done by rotating the barrel.
Striking back of a burner means that the burner's air hole is not open all the way. This causes an air shortage that needs to reach the gas. This results in too much air buildup through it, which causes the flame to burst out of the air hole.

how will you prevent a burner from striking back
To get a roaring (blue) flame you simply turn the sleeve on the Bunsen burner's chimney to completely open the air hole under it. The new blue flame will be hard to see so close the air hole afterwards to make a visible flame.

The two colours are yellow - when the air-hole is open, and blue - when the air-hole is closed.
Air hole fully open gives a 'roaring blue flame'
Because, with the air-hole open, the burner creates a pale blue, much hotter flame - which is difficult to see. Closing the hole creates a yellow flame which is easier to see.
