How to work the glow stick works.

We've all heard the name Glow Stick. It seems strange to see how the lamp burns without an electrical connection. If we look at the firefly, we can understand the thing. In fact, electricity is not always needed to produce light. All this is the manipulation of chemicals. Can be produced through chemical reactions. The good thing about LED bulbs is that they are mainly after chemical reactions.


Let's take a look at how light is generated on a glow stick.




Inside the glow stick are glass capsules containing dibutyl phalate or hydrogen peroxide and phalic ester.


These sticks often contain phenylochlolate esters, hydrogen peroxide and a fluorescent dye. When these chemicals combine, multiple reactions occur that create energy for the dye to enter. 


The chemicals include diphenyl oxalate, hydrogen peroxide and a pigment that produces a variety of colors.



When the stick is bent, the glass capsule inside it explodes. And mixes with two liquids to form a reaction. The light energy generated in the reaction is within the range of human vision (380Hz - 700Hz). As a result we see this al.
