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.

It is bright, and could not be seen clearly as it emits light


Is a candle flame seen because it is luminious?

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 is the purpose of comparing Luminous and non luminous flames?

luminous flames are those which throw or Emmit bright light of great intensity......but non luminous flames are those which just glow and do not emmit light of such great intensity................ it should not be misunderstood with candle ......and coal........as one emits flame and the other does knot's as there is no flame......there is no point of luminous or non luminous


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 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.


Why is it advisable to put off a non luminous flame when not in use?

Non- Luminous can burn efficiently because luminous flames don't burn as efficiently as non-luminous ones, they don't produce as much energy. This means that the non-luminous flames have a lot more energy than luminous ones, and their flames are actually hotter. This is why the luminous ones look yellow and the non-luminous ones look blue. Hotter flames burn blue and (relatively) cooler ones burn yellow.


What does luminous object contain?

A luminous object contains its own source of light, such as the sun, a light bulb, or a candle. These objects emit light energy that allows them to be seen in the dark.


Which confirmatory test is for sodium?

An object that can be seen because it reflects its own light is said to be?

self-luminous.


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.
