Yes. Radiation is to the emission of energy in rays / waves. Heat moves through space as energy waves. It is the type of heat one feels when sitting in front of a fireplace or around a buring camp fire or in this case a candle all though because the flame will be smaller (at the buring wick the heat will be much less) . It travels in straight lines at the speed of light. This is the reason that when facing the fire, only your front is warmed. The back of you is not warmed until you turn around. Most of the preheating of fuels ahead of a fire is by radiation of heat from the fire. As the fire front gets closer, the amount of radiant heat received is increased.
You will also have convection;
Convection is the transfer of heat by the physical movement of hot masses of air. As air is heated, it expands (as do all objects). As it expands, it becomes lighter then the surrounding air and it rises. (This is why the air near the ceiling of a heated room is warmer than that near the floor.) A candle does this but because its such a samll flame its does not make any major change in a normal room envirom ment unless many burn at one time
What else can I help you with?
What objects give off light because of high temperature?
Objects such as stars, light bulbs, and burning candles give off light due to high temperature. When an object is heated to a high temperature, it emits electromagnetic radiation in the form of visible light.
Why do stars give off electromagnet radiation?
they are magnetic
What kind of radiation do stars give off?
Stars give off a variety of radiation, including visible light, ultraviolet light, infrared radiation, and X-rays. This radiation is a result of nuclear fusion processes happening within the star's core, which produce immense amounts of energy that are then radiated outwards into space.
Why does candle go out when lid is put on jar?
When you put a lid on a jar containing a lit candle, it cuts off the oxygen supply needed for the flame to continue burning. Without oxygen, the candle cannot sustain combustion and it goes out. Additionally, the lack of oxygen causes the build-up of carbon dioxide, which extinguishes the flame.
A object that gives off its own light is a what object?
Luminescent. If is a biological process, it is called bioluminescence.
Does the burning of a candle give off or absorb heat?
The burning of a candle gives off heat. This is because the chemical reaction of the wax with oxygen releases energy in the form of heat and light.
Reaction such as a candle burning give off energy in the form of heat they're called?
Exothermic Trishi! =)
How much heat does a candle give off when it burns?
When a candle burns, it gives off heat energy in the form of light and heat. The amount of heat produced by a candle can vary depending on factors such as the size of the candle and the type of wax used. Generally, a candle can produce around 80-100 watts of heat energy while burning.
What does it mean when you are burning a candle for someone and the wick has some kind of green residue on it while burning?
Green residue on the wick could indicate that the candle contains impurities or additives that are burning off. It could also be a sign of the candle burning unevenly, which may be caused by the wick being too long or the candle being exposed to drafts. It's best to trim the wick and avoid burning the candle in a drafty area to prevent this issue.
Does iPhone4 give off radiation?
All cell phones give off varying degrees of radiation.
Does kryptonite give off gas or radiation?
Radiation
Do lamps give off heat?
As a candle burns it produces the by products that are the result of that burning [burning of the wax and the wick] For the most part these by products are Carbon Dioxide, Water and Soot [Carbon] if the candle burns with a sooty flame.
Why burning candle goes off when it is covered by glass cup?
A burning candle goes off when covered by a glass cup because it uses up the available oxygen in the cup, creating a sealed environment with no oxygen for the flame to continue burning. This causes the flame to extinguish due to the lack of oxygen needed for combustion.
How many BTU does a candle give off?
well how big is the candle? which material is it made out, and how long does the candle burn?
What is special about Rigaud candles?
The Rigaud candle is considered one of the finest, high quality candles that are available today. When the candle is burning, it gives off a beautiful aroma.
What gases do candles give off when burning?
Air is mostly Nitrogen, but that is not the "burning" part; Oxygen is probably what you are looking for, as that is the part that helps the candle burn, without there would be no fire. Or maybe you are looking for Carbon dioxide, that is what burning candles (which are mostly carbon) produces. What gas causes a candle to burn? Oxygen. It is the oxygen in the atmosphere that chemically combines with the wax of the candle to give Carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. What does candle need from air to burn? A candle requires oxygen (O2) to continue its combustion reaction and produce CO2 and H2O.
What do all objects give off?
All objects give off thermal radiation.
