A candle
A wax candle is an example of something made of wax that can be lit.
Light hitting wax paper will be partially absorbed, transmitted, and reflected. The wax paper is semi-transparent, so some light will pass through while some will bounce off the surface. The absorbed light energy may cause the wax paper to heat up slightly.
Because they are wax and wax doesn't burn, it melts.:-)
Candles are typically made with wax and can be lit for illumination or ambiance.
Yes, light can pass through wax paper because it is semi-transparent. However, some light might get scattered or absorbed by the wax in the paper, making it appear less clear compared to transparent materials like glass.
Light can shine through wax paper, as it is semi-translucent. However, construction paper is usually opaque and does not allow light to pass through.
Wax paper is translucent because it is coated with a thin layer of wax. This wax coating allows light to pass through the paper to some extent, creating a translucent effect.
A candle converts chemical energy stored in the wax and wick into heat and light energy through combustion. The chemical energy in the candle is released as heat and light when the wax is burned, creating a flame.
No, wax itself is not a source of energy. When burned, wax releases energy in the form of heat and light through a combustion reaction. However, the wax itself is not considered a primary source of energy.
When a candle burns, the chemical energy stored in the wax is transformed into heat energy and light energy. The chemical bonds in the wax molecules break, releasing energy in the form of heat and light as the wax reacts with oxygen in the air.
