QUESTION -- Why does the water rises when a candle kept in an inverted glass and water extinguishes

ANSWER
______________________________

When the Candle is burning It uses the oxygen around it thus lowering the volume of air but at the same time The candle is giving out heat which is expanding and increasing the volume. So these two cases cancel out each other and The Water level in the inverted glass has no changes (neither rises nor falls).

But as Soon as the Candle is extinguished, The air gets cooled and decreases the volume drastically. The Oxygen is already used up so there is less amount of air. Because of Decrease in volume a low pressure zone is created thus The Water level rises up to equalise the pressure as much as possible.
