The wood will not catch fire until it reached its combustion temperature. If at a lower temperature, the wood will simple smoulder, giving out smoke without a flame.

What does absorbed light energy do to a wood?

Absorbed light energy in wood causes it to heat up and eventually increase in temperature. If the energy is strong enough, the wood can ignite and catch fire.


What fire will burn faster one with small pieces of wood or one with large pieces?

The smaller the wood the quicker it will catch fire. This is because the wood will heat up quicker. Unike in a larger peice of wood the heat has to spread all over it before it can catch fire. There are less exposed paticles in a smaller peice and less particles together! The smaller the wood the quicker it will catch fire. This is because the wood will heat up quicker.

Why can log of wood no be lightened by matchstick but a paper?

For something to burn, it has to be heated to the point where it can catch fire. Wood CSN stand fairly high temperatures, and a match hasn't enough energy to raise the temperature high enough.


Can a wooden button melt?

No, wooden buttons cannot melt because wood has a much higher combustion temperature than the melting point of materials like plastic or metal. Wood will char and burn before it reaches a state of melting.


Wood has energy while a burning fire has energy?

Wood contains potential energy stored in its chemical bonds, whereas a burning fire releases this energy as heat and light through a chemical reaction called combustion. Consequently, the energy in the wood is transformed into thermal and radiant energy when the fire burns.

How can I effectively get wood to catch fire?

To effectively get wood to catch fire, you can use kindling and a fire starter such as matches or a lighter. Arrange the wood in a teepee or log cabin shape to allow for airflow, which helps the fire ignite and spread. Make sure the wood is dry and use small pieces to start the fire before adding larger pieces. Additionally, consider using accelerants like newspaper or fire starter sticks to help the fire catch more easily.
