Why does the wax in my lava lamp start to stay at the top after a while?

Can someone please help me!!! once i switch it of it floats back to the bottom and i don't know why? The wax and liquid are different densities. Density changes with temperature. When the wax is near the heat source, its temperature increases and it becomes less dense compared to the liquid and then it floats to the top. When it gets to the top, it cools down because it is farther from the heat source. When it cools down, it becomes denser than the liquid, and it sinks. So when you turn off the lava lamp, the wax and liquid cool to room temperature, and the wax is denser than the liquid so it stays at the bottom.


How does a lava lamp work using conduction and radiation?

The coil at the bottom heats up when turned on, making the now hot wax molecules spread apart and rise. at the top the wax molecules cool, crowd together, and sink.

What is the science behind a lava lamp?

A lava lamp is a pretty interesting thing, when it is cool, it looks like it's made of candle wax, because it is. Wax is strange, because when it is hot, it rises, but when it is cool, it sinks, so the bulb at the bottom heats the wax, and it floats to the top, but at the top, when it starts to cool down, it sinks. cool huh?


How come the wax of the lava lamp come down?

The wax substance is more dense than the liquid when cool and less dense than the liquid when heated. The wax moves by density convection.

Why do you scrape the wax off your ski?

When you iron in the wax the heat from the iron allows the some wax to absorb into the ski base. The excess wax is then scraped off and ski base polished to expose the waxed base that has been tempered by the wax and is very slippery and fast. This is somewhat similar to waxing your car once the wax has dried it has a rough finish and is gritty. The excess wax needs to be removed to expose the shiny, slippery finish. Same thing on the ski base the shinny waxed base is fast. Dan Meyer Fast Wax Tech Service Skifastwax.com
