Do matches light fire because of friction?
No, matches do not light due to friction. Matches light when the friction of striking them against a rough surface ignites the phosphorus or sulfur in the match head, causing a chemical reaction that creates a flame.
Do matches light because of fricction?
Matches light because the friction generated by striking them creates enough heat to ignite the chemicals on the match head. This chemical reaction produces a flame.
Is it true matches light because of friction?
No, matches light due to a chemical reaction between the match head and the striking surface. When the match head rubs against the rough surface, it generates enough heat to ignite the chemicals in the match head, leading to combustion and the flame.
Who invented the first friction matches?
John Walker, an English chemist, is credited with inventing the first friction matches in 1826. They were made by coating wooden splints with a mixture of potassium chlorate, sulfur, sugar, and gum.
When the frequency of light matches the natural frequency of molecules in a material light is?
When the frequency of light matches the natural frequency of molecules in a material, light is absorbed by the material. This phenomenon is known as resonance absorption.

No, matches do not light due to friction. Matches light when the friction of striking them against a rough surface ignites the phosphorus or sulfur in the match head, causing a chemical reaction that creates a flame.

What is the difference between safety matches and friction matches?
friction matches can catch on fire like rapid fire and safety matches are more safe and secure
Can you light strike on box matches without the box?
NO, The side of the box contans a chemical. its a chemical reation.... witch strike anywhere matches the white tip allows friction to do it.
What did people use before safety matches?
friction fires
Why is Phosphorus used in matches?
Phosphorus is used in matches because it is highly reactive and easily ignites when exposed to air. In matches, a small amount of phosphorus is mixed with other combustible materials to create the friction needed to ignite and produce a flame.
What are the dangers dynamo lights?
the light's are a danger to the user as the friction of the wheel can rub and injure the person using it and the light can not work some times because the friction can not always light up as not everywhere has a friction-able surface like dirt therefor if you are on dirt using dynamo lights dirt does not give a friction.
Is it legal to send someone strike anywhere matches in the US mail?
No they are classed as an incindiary device.
Why can't you light a candle underwater?
You can't light a candle underwater because the water would put it out and no friction
Why do people wear light blue shirts and khakis?
Because it matches, and they like the way it looks.
