Answer:

The smell of a lighted incense stick spreads several metres away because of the process of diffusion. Diffusion is the process of movement of particles from their region of high concentration to the region of low concentration.

Smell of lighted incense stick reaches you several metres away because of diffusion.

Reason

Air molecules travel faster and have larger intermolecular gaps. Incense sticks are made up of flavorful, volatile chemicals that disperse fast in the air. When particles in the air are heated to a high temperature, they gain a lot of kinetic energy, and the molecules begin to move from a higher concentration to a lower concentration through the process of diffusion. The smell of an unlit incense stick, on the other hand, requires close inspection.
