Why does a candle give off little heat?
In fact the candle does give off quite a lot of heat- about 1400c. Most of it is going straight up. Alot of energy is given off as light too.
What form of energy is in a candle?
The Light of a candle is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, so it is electromagnetic energy. It is also called radiant energy. A candle, however, can emit others kinds of energy like heat, light, sounds, kinetic energy (that makes the air move due to convection) and so on.
What is the energy conversion of a candle?
As a candle burns, it converts the chemical energy in the wax to heat and light energy.
What kind of energy conversions taking place in lighting a candle?
When you light a matchstick, you convert the chemical energy in the matchstick to heat energy. This matchstick when brought in contact with the candle converts the chemical energy in the candle to heat and light energy.Chemical energy turns to light and heat.
The light of a candle is what type of energy?
Heat energy
What energy does lighted candle give us?
it has light and heat energy
Give an example of a chemical change that produces light and heat?
you fart on a candle....

What are the types of energies released when a candle burns?
Energy in the form of heat and light is released.

When you light a candle enegy is changed to heat and energy?
Typically, chemical potential energy is converted into heat and light. When atoms light energy. It is this energy that you see released when the candle burns.
The light of a candle is what type of energy?
Heat energy
What form of energy is a candle?
Heat and light energy.
Why is candle a source of light?
because the flame from when it is lite produces heat and light
How does oxygen Affect how fast a candle will burn?
when a candle burns, the wax is reacting with oxygen in the air to give out heat and light. If you give the candle more oxygen then it will burn brighter, but it will burn out more quickly. It all depends whether the candle has a high or low concentration of oxygen. The main reason why the candle burns brighter is because there is a better chance that the oxygen will bump into the wax on the wick. when a candle burns, the wax is reacting with oxygen in the air to give out heat and light.
