Glow sticks are a native light source that operates without electricity. Light emission is achieved by transforming part of the chemical energy into light energy. They are translucent plastic tubes containing individual substances that, when combined, produce light through chemiluminescence .
The term chemiluminescence refers to the phenomenon by which, in some chemical reactions, the energy released is emitted not only in the form of heat or chemical energy , but also in the form of light . Source Wikipedia
The glow is activated by bending the stick, triggering a chemical reaction between its components. The possible uses of glow sticks are almost limitless, even achieving results underwater.
It is important not to break the plastic container so that the chemicals do not spill. If they do, do not touch them and avoid accidental ingestion.
