Question

When a person strikes and lights a match, potential energy in the match is transformed into which types of energy?

Answer 1

Answer:

thermal and radiant

Explanation:

- thermal energy refers to the energy transmitted through heat

- radiant energy refers to the energy transmitted through electromagnetic radiation, such as light

When the person lights the match, the match produces both heat (thermal energy) and light (radiant energy), so the correct answer is

thermal and radiant

Answer 2

When a person strikes and lights a match, potential (chemical) energy
in the match is transformed into radiant energy in the form of heat (thermal)
and light.

Strange as it may seem, I have also had the experience ... while listening
to a sensitive high-frequency communications receiver and striking a match ...
of hearing a faint scratch of static in the receiver, suggesting that there is also
a trace of radiant energy at radio frequencies in the ignition of the match. 
I describe this only as an unconfirmed curiosity, and you should not state it
as a part of the answer.
