How to does a matchstick lit up with a magnifying glass .
A magnifying glass can be used to focus light into one direction.
This allows us to use the magnifying glass to light up a matchstick inside of using the usual method.
However , it is necessary to hold the magnifier at the distance of it's focal length. Using trial & error will help to achieve the best result.
The head of the match stick contains either phosphorus or phosphorus sesquisulfide , once light is directly focused on it, the molecues inside will start to vibrate. Vibrations means that the tip of the matchstick will get a lot of movement & it will ignite.
