What does the light energy from a candle flame convert to when it’s blown out?
Runner asked:
Energy isn’t lost, it always changes into kinetic, light, heat or chemical energy of some sort, so what does the light energy from a blown out candle convert to? A burning candle obviously gives off heat and smoke (chemical) as the wick and wax burn, but what about the light at the point of going out?

How would you go about finding the amount of energy released when lighting a candle?

At school I have to do a thermochemistry challenge and I have no idea what to do! I have to find how much energy is released when lighting a candle. Any suggestions?
