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?

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?
