When the candle burns the wax melts and drips.. This later becomes solid by cooling
This is a reversible physical change
The burning of the wax vapour is a chemical change.
No new substance is formed.
Thus candle burning supports both type of changes

Hey, here is your answer -
If a candle is lit,the wax melts and turns into liquid state. As some of the molten wax drops on the floor or the table, it solidifies again. Therefore, this is a physical change.
Simultaneously, most of the molten wax rises up the wick, turns into vapour and burns with a great flame. Two substances are formed - carbon dioxide and water vapour. The candle becomes smaller and smaller. Therefore, this is a chemical change.
Thus, we see that melting of wax is a physical change and burning of the candle is a chemical change.
