In the simple act of lighting a match, chemical energy stored in the match head is transformed into heat and light. what is true about this energy transformation?

The head of a matchstick has a great deal of chemical energy stored in it, including combustible substances that produce a flame when rubbed against a suitable surface. ... As the combustible materials burn, some of the chemical energy is transformed into heat energy, and some is transformed into light energy. Hope this helps

Striking the match would be mechanical energy, once the match is lit it would produce thermal energy which is what you would feel as heat and electromagnetic which would be seen as light.
