A non-luminous flame is a flame colored blue, and is undergoing almost-perfect or perfect combustion. Matchsticks emit luminous flames, which burn red to yellow and aren't as perfect. Matches take a second to reach full flame when put in a Bunsen burner (which emits a non-luminous flame) because the ignition of the match normally is based on the spark produced by swiping the match, which produces massive heat in a split moment. With the Bunsen burner, it takes a second for the match to reach the heat level required for ignition.
A match needs heat to ignite. Light just doesn't do the job where heat is needed.
Look at it another way: If there actually is a chemical that can be ignited by
visible light, it would be a very poor business decision to sell matches made of it.
Any time anybody opened the box of matches or took some out of his pocket,
they'd all go up !
Heat is necessary - this is frictional heat; if it would ignite immediately would be useless.
Friction, which produces heat. The tip of the match is designed to ignite at low temps.
Of course it's possible to stick a match up your nose, but why would anyone want to do that?Now, if you meant "strike a match inside your nose", then that sounds much more reasonable.Matches need enough friction to ignite the chemicals on the match head. It is unlikely that the mucous membranes inside your nose have enough friction. Besides...the chemicals on a match head should not come in contact with any part of your face.
Ether is very flammable, and if you were going to light it on fire, although not suggested, you should use something other than a match stick. If you're going to light it on fire, for whatever reason, you should be as far away as humanly possible.
Phosphorus and sulfur in the match tip, poplar wood or paper in the match stick.

does the stick ignite quickly/
it could be either convection or radiation that can light a candle wick with a match.The match stick does not retain enough heat by itself to light a wick by conduction. The burning match though gives off enough heat to incandesce the air around the match into a flame. By contact of this convective hot gas (flame) with the wick the temperature of the candle wax can be raised to the ignition temperature. By holding the match close to the wick, without the flame contacting it, the radiant heat from the flame can vaporize and ignite the wax as well. The closer the flame to the wick the more radiant heat can be transferred.

Yes the end of the match is being rubbed on the material on the side of the match box causing enough friction to start the match burning.
The noun 'match' is a concrete noun as a word for a small stick used to ignite a flame; a word for a physical object.The noun 'match' is an abstract noun as a word for a game or sport in which a person or group competes against another; a resemblance or correspondence between one person or thing and another; a word for a concept.
the included fuel and oxidant are quickly used up but last long enough to ignite the stick
Yes, the noun 'match' is a common noun, a general word for a small stick used to ignite a flame; a game or sport in which a person or group competes against another; a resemblance or correspondence between one person or thing and another; a seemingly suitable combination of one person or thing with another.The word 'match' is also a verb: match, matches, matching, matched.
work_done = force x distance In igniting a match a force is applied to push the match a distance along the box, thus work is done.
