What are Michael Faraday's major findings on candles?

If by candles you mean light, He did experiments on whether or not magnetic fields could influence light.  He discovered it did, but only with led glass not flint, rock crysal or calcareous spar.  He is quoted as saying "Thus magnetic force and light were proved to have relation to each othere.  This fact will likely prove exceeingly fertile and of great value in the investigation of both conditions of natural force."  The Faraday Effect.

I pierced a candle with the needle and carefully placed the needle on water surface. It floated well. \n\nThis due to the surface tension effect.\n\nNext I did with another needle without wax coating. This time it floated once in many trials.\n\n\nNext I placed the needle on a piece of blotting paper and placed it on the surface of water. The blotting paper in few seconds went inside leaving the needle floating.

steric acid.(sterene) a common natural additive to wax. it is used to make the wax harder and to increase the burning time of the candle.\nwhen the sterene is not melted at a high enough temperature it does not bond well with the wax. causing it to from into little clumps inside the candle. when the flame hits a clump of this more flamable material it causes an increase on the size of the flame.\n\nalso a wick acts as an elevator that brings wax to a flame. if the wick becomes clogged with impurities it will slow the wax flow to the flame causeing a smaller flame. when this blockage is removed it will cause an increased size in the flame.\n\nhowever with properly used steric acid and pure wax. niether of these are a problem. a quality candle will produce a smoothe even flame. the only thing that would cause this to flicker would be air movements in the house (or area) that the candle is being burnt in. these may be so subtile that the human skin cannot detect it but something as sensitive as a flame is greatly affected.

Early observations\nIn 1839, Alexandre Edmond Becquerel observed the photoelectric effect via an electrode in a conductive solution exposed to light. In 1873, Willoughby Smith found that selenium is photoconductive.\n\n[edit]\nHertz's spark gaps\nHeinrich Hertz, in 1887, made observations of the photoelectric effect and of the production and reception of electromagnetic (EM) waves, published in the journal Annalen der Physik. His receiver consisted of a coil with a spark gap, whereupon a spark would be seen upon detection of EM waves. He placed the apparatus in a darkened box in order to see the spark better; he observed, however, that the maximum spark length was reduced when in the box. A glass panel placed between the source of EM waves and the receiver absorbed ultraviolet radiation that assisted the electrons in jumping across the gap. When removed, the spark length would increase. He observed no decrease in spark length when he substituted quartz for glass, as quartz does not absorb UV radiation.\n\nHertz concluded his months of investigation and reported the results obtained. He did not further pursue investigation of this effect, nor did he make any attempt at explaining how the observed phenomenon was brought about.

"Thomas Edison tried and failed nearly 2000 times to develop the carbonized cotton thread filiment for the incandescent light bulb.  When asked about it, he said, 'I didn't fail. I found out 2000 ways how not to make a light bulb.'  But he only needed to find one way to make it work."\n\nFrom National Treasure

The Invention of the Light Bulb: Davy, Swan and Edison\n\nThe first electric light was made in 1800 by Humphry Davy, an English scientist. He experimented with electricity and invented an electric battery. When he connected wires to his battery and a piece of carbon, the carbon glowed, producing light. This is called an electric arc. \nMuch later, in 1860, the English physicist Sir Joseph Wilson Swan (1828-1914) was determined to devise a practical, long-lasting electric light. He found that a carbon paper filament worked well, but burned up quickly. In 1878, he demonstrated his new electric lamps in Newcastle, England. \n\nIn 1877, the American Charles Francis Brush manufactured some carbon arcs to light a public square in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. These arcs were used on a few streets, in a few large office buildings, and even some stores. Electric lights were only used by a few people. \n\nThe inventor Thomas Alva Edison (in the USA) experimented with thousands of different filaments to find just the right materials to glow well and be long-lasting. In 1879, Edison discovered that a carbon filament in an oxygen-free bulb glowed but did not burn up for 40 hours. Edison eventually produced a bulb that could glow for over 1500 hours.

Ben Franklin, electricity.  (You asked for discovery, not invention)

Probably not.\n\nIt takes a very high temperature to get the colors you are talking about. The temperature of a candle is a lot less than those found in pyrotechnics or a bunsen flame.

La detectacion de luz ,como photon o como onda, depende del typo o metodo de experimento para explorar la naturaleza de la luz. La luz exhibe la characteristica de honda en experimentos de diffraccion e interferencia y exhibe characteristicas de particula en experimentos de ionizacion de atomos con radiacion de varias energias. La luz se mueve en linea recta a menos que es reflejada o desviada por el medio atraves cual viaja. La luz que proviene de estrellas y galaxias distantes provee informacion soble la velocidad de esas estrellas y galaxias porque la luz como onda es cambiada como es cambiado el sonido de un tren qhe primero se aproxima y despues se aleja. ( vea terminos como "red-shift" and "doppler effect") El sonido aumenta cuando el tren viene y despues mengua cuando el tren se va.

Probably candles, i know they are the #1 causes of fires in NYC.

A candle flame is often used to illustrate the complicated physio-chemical processes of combustion. The flame surface itself represents the location where fuel vapor and oxygen mix at high temperature and with the release of heat. Heat from the flame melts the wax at the base of the exposed wick. The liquid wax rises by capillary action up the wick, bringing it into closer proximity to the hot flame. This close proximity causes the liquid wax to vaporize. The wax vapors then migrate toward the flame surface, breaking down into smaller hydrocarbons enroute. Oxygen from the surrounding atmosphere also migrates toward the flame surface by diffusion and convection. The survival and location of the flame surface is determined by the balance of these processes. \n\nIn normal gravity, buoyancy-driven convection develops due to the hot, less dense combustion products. This action has several effects: (a) the hot reaction products are carried away due to their buoyancy, and fresh oxygen is carried toward the flame zone; (b) solid particles of soot form in the region between the flame and the wick and are convected upward, where they burn off, yielding the bright yellow tip of the flame; (c) to overcome the loss of heat due to buoyancy, the flame anchors itself close to the wick; (d) the combination of these effects causes the flame to be shaped like a teardrop.

Magic  is not true. magic is a form of trickery or sleight of hand and therefore by definition not true. Don't be fooled!! The thought that candles can tell you anything is just plain foolish.

wattage of the bulb is important...prob not generating enough heat to make the 'lava' flow (wax).\n\nIt should show signs of flow within an hour...at least!

Edison did not invent the electric lightbulb, which was pioneered by Heinrich Goebel in 1854. Goebel's lamps lasted up to 400 hours, but he did not patent them. Other light bulbs were created by James Woodward and Matthew Evans (patented in 1875) and equipped with carbon filament by Joseph Swan in 1878. However,it was Edison's relentless and endless experimentation that made the lightbulb a practical, commercial proposition. He purchased the 1875 patent and had a team of developers try many alternative materials and thus was eventually able to prolong the burning time in 1879.\nOn November 21, 1877 and he demonstrated the device for the first time on November 29 (he patented it on February 19, 1878).  , Edison invented the phonograph.\nEdison patented the Kinetoscope on August 31, 1887.
