A candle flame is seen because the carbon hydrogen bonds in paraffin are being broken and energy is released as photons. The photons activate the photoreceptors in your retina to form an "image", then that image travels to the back of the brain through the optic nerve to be interpreted.
The carbon and hydrogen atoms form new bonds with oxygen with their electrons in a lower energy state(as carbon dioxide and water).
What else can I help you with?
How far can the light of a candle be seen?
3.5 miles in perfect viewing conditions and keen eyesight.
Why are several images seen when you look obliquely into a mirror with a candle as an image and which image is very bright?
When you look obliquely into a mirror with a candle, multiple images are seen due to the reflection of light at different angles. This phenomenon occurs because the light from the candle bounces off the mirror surface and can reflect back multiple times between parallel surfaces, creating several images. The brightest image is typically the original candle's reflection, as it comes directly from the light source, while subsequent reflections may appear dimmer due to the loss of light intensity with each reflection.
What is the hottest flame colour?
The hottest flame color is typically blue, as it indicates a high temperature flame burning at a more efficient rate. This is often seen in combustion reactions that have sufficient oxygen supply.
How far away can you see a candle?
under ideal conditions about 3 and a half miles
How far away can you see candle light?
The question is not clear: How far can YOU see something WITH candle light? OR:How far can a lit CANDLE be seen? Its a matter of defining conditions. An observer that has been all day at the beach without sunglasses, has a much lower chance of seeing anything with candlelight the same days night, for example. Questions have to be clearly written. amclaussen
Why is a candle flame seen?
A candle flame is seen because it consists of glowing gases.
Is the candle flame that is seen luminous?
yes
Is a candle flame seen because it is luminous?
There are different types of energy. In this case, the energy apart from radiant heat is giving off energy in the visible range, ~400-800 nm wavelength. That's why you can see it.
What does the flame on the candle represent?
The flame on a candle is often seen as a symbol of life, light, hope, and purity. It can also represent warmth, guidance, and spiritual illumination. Additionally, in some cultures, the flame is believed to symbolize change and transformation.
How far can a candle be seen in light?
A candle can typically be seen from up to 1 mile away in the dark, depending on atmospheric conditions and line of sight. The flame emits light that can be visible in the surrounding darkness, but this visibility diminishes with distance.
Why do people light a candle for the dead?
People light a candle for the dead as a symbolic gesture to honor and remember their memory. The flickering flame is often seen as a way to guide the spirit of the deceased and provide comfort to those who are grieving.
What happens during a melting candle?
when a candle is lighted ; this is what happens : the solid wax melts and rises up the wick. The wax vapours react with oxygen to burn as a flame. The candle starts melting. This is a physical change. while observing the candle flame we see that the candle has 3 zones. Non - Luminous zone is the innermost zone. It appears as a dark zone and is the coldest part of the candle flame due to less oxygen. Then comes the Luminous zone , it is yellow and opaque. The glowing of carbon particles cause the flame to look yellow and emit light. Then , Invisible zone - it is the outermost zone of the candle flame. it is the hottest zone and cannot be seen with naked eye. Combustion reaction comes to completion here and carbon changes into carbon dioxide.
What is the colour of the flame seen when sulphur burns in air?
The color of the flame seen when sulfur burns in air is blue.
Why is the flame known as luminous flame?
It is bright, and could not be seen clearly as it emits light
Do hot plates need to be plugged in?
Some hot plates are heated pureley by candle flame heat located underneath.Whilst I have seen flame heated I have also seen electric heated hot plated which can have to be plugged in whilst some re charge it depends on your make model and brand.
Where is Continuous Spectrum seen?
Any incandescent source such as candle flame, sun, carbon arc lamp would give continuous spectrum. When the temperature is low then red and orange may be there. As temperature increases then spectrum would extend towards violet end
Why is the yellow flame the safety flame?
Yellow flame can be seen easily and it doens't produce much heat.
