What is the energy transfer that takes place when a candle is lit?
-
Stored chemical energy transfers to heat and light
-
Kinetic energy transfers t heat and light
-
Heat and light energy is transfered to chemical energy
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
When a candle is lit, the stored chemical energy in the wax is converted into heat and light energy. This process is known as combustion, where the heat produced causes the wax to melt and vaporize. The vaporized wax reacts with oxygen in the air, releasing energy in the form of heat and light. Therefore, the correct answer is that stored chemical energy transfers to heat and light.
