Problem P. 4594. (January 2014)

P. 4594. Compare the sight of a sparkler on the christmas tree, with the splendour light of the firework show at the new year's eve.

a) In case of the sparkler why can't we observe such expanding, glowing fireballs or fire-wheels (glowing sharpnels which spred out in a plane) as we can see in case of the fireworks?

b) Is it possible to observe elliptical ``fire-wheels'' during a firework display?
