Question

as a candle burns on the table, you can see the electromagnetic energy and feel the thermal energy released. which two statements are true about the energy involved in burning the candle? a. chemical energy is created from electromagnetic energy when the candle burns b. the total amount of all types of energy is conserved when the candle burns c. thermal and chemical energy are destroyed by the electromagnetic energy when the candle burns d. the total chemical energy equals the electromagnetic and thermal energy released when the candle burns

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy is neither created nor destroyed in a closed - system. When a candle burns, chemical energy is converted into electromagnetic (light) and thermal (heat) energy. The total amount of energy remains the same.

Answer:

B. The total amount of all types of energy is conserved when the candle burns
D. The total chemical energy equals the electromagnetic and thermal energy released when the candle burns
