Responses
Nuclear energy and light energy
Nuclear energy and light energy
Light energy and thermal energy
Light energy and thermal energy
Solar energy and nuclear energy
Solar energy and nuclear energy
Thermal energy and solar energy
The correct response is: Light energy and thermal energy.
When a match is struck, it primarily gives off light energy and thermal energy.
The correct answer is "Light energy and thermal energy."
When a match is struck, it ignites due to a chemical reaction between the match head and the striking surface. This reaction generates thermal energy in the form of heat. As the match burns, it also produces light energy in the form of a flame. These two forms of energy, light and thermal, are given off by the burning match.
