another cool thing about candles i learned somewhere was that when you blow out the flame, if you then try to relight the "smoke" the flame will travel back down to the wick and relight the candle. its super cool!! if i remember correctly, its because the smoke isnt really smoke, its remaining vapors from the wax, which is distinctly different from, say, smoke produced by a fire.

While it is somewhat different, house fires can restart due to its smoke by a very hot spark or flame, smoke is just unburnt carbon, and is technically flammable.
@YounesLayachi
Жыл бұрын
That is not the full picture. Candle wax is a pure, clean fuel. But like other fuels, it will produce smoke and soot when the burning condition aren't ideal : incomplete combustion. So the visible candle smoke is 100% flammable, even if you substract all the paraffin vapour from it. The rest is made of various hydrocarbons from the pyrolysis, and black microscopic carbon soot particles. All of these burn if given the chance. Unless you consider the water vapour and CO2 produced to be smoke, but they are invisible gases. TLDR : my issue is with "the smoke isn't really smoke". The smoke IS really smoke. Being flammable doesn't mean it's not smoke.

You can't see the shadow of a flame, but if you look closely you can see the caustics of its heat radiating through the air. Light gets refracted when it passes through a medium of lower (or higher) density, so you can see the heated air rising and mixing with the atmosphere in the shadow of the flame
@-flxwly-1549
Жыл бұрын
you can. I dont agree with Michael here tho. Yes he and you are right about the distortions because of the heat but a flame can absorb light. So in short the light of a flame comes from excited gas atoms that release their energy in the form of photons (light). these photons have specific wavelengths and one property of gases in generell is that they can absorb certain (different for each gas) wavelength of light which get the gas atoms to be excited. In the end the light is emmited again when the atoms release their energy. However the light is emitted in no generell direction. Since the overall energy must be the same or less itll result in a shadow. I don't know any specific video as of writing this comment but there are some experiments that show these shadows cast by flames. Edit: kzitem.info/news/bejne/uaShnIalmoF8gGk

To simplify it, a light source cannot have a shadow unless being illuminated by an even more powerful light source. A shadow is just the result of light from a source being interrupted by an object, if the object IS a light source, to show up as a shadow it needs to have a significantly brighter light being shone onto it.

The candle also escapes when you turn away long enough, leaves only wax behind. Oil lamps will never leave you.

I always figured they don't have shadows for the same reason a lightbulb that's on doesn't. This made me think about things differently, so thank you. :)

The wax is the fuel. It's converted to heat, light, and smoke.

Flames do have shadows, or at least I think to remember they do, I think you just need to add another light source in front of it, preferably something brighter

Because, shadows is where something blocks light from reaching a certain area, but fire is a light source so it fills in the shadow it makes

You can see heat shadows on a hot summer day just by looking at a uniform and flat surface outside, pretty cool

I can't be the only person who saw the flame's shadow before he shined the light through it. It looked just like it, only not as vibrant.

I'm pretty sure the best answer is it emits light bright enough to cancel out any shadow
