I asked a physics professor once what made up the flame. We talked about it, and basically it's an area where the electrons are soooo excited that they are unable to stay attached to one atom- they keep jumping around because of the chemical reaction that is fire...
When you blow out the candle, basically, you're cooling and ending the chemical reaction, which allows the electrons to settle down and stay attached to a single atom instead of jumping.

When a light beam disappears, its photons (light waves) hit a wall, an object, your skin, your eyes, the atmosphere, atoms, anything in its path. If the light beam was to disappear in the vacuum of space, where nothing was present, not even an atom, then the light beam would travel on forever.

Very simple- The flow of air from ur mouth is a flow of Carbon Di-oxide,
So, the candle flame disappears.

its based on simple principle that when you blow the beam you are blowing out the carbondioxide .carbon is the element will not help the candle to fire.when u blow them slowly it will force the environment oxygen which will help to light them ,when u strongly blow the carbon do its job.as for as i know
