A glow stick is a plastic tube that contains two separate liquids. When the liquids are mixed, they glow. The diagrams show the process that causes a glow stick to emit light.
Based on the diagrams, what energy transformations occur when using a glow stick?
A.
Chemical energy cracks the inner tube, which starts a reaction that transforms thermal energy into light energy.
B.
Thermal energy cracks the inner tube, which starts a reaction that transforms potential energy into light energy.
C.
Mechanical energy cracks the inner tube, which starts a reaction that transforms chemical energy into light energy.
D.
Potential energy cracks the inner tube, which starts a reaction that transforms mechanical energy into light energy.
C.
Mechanical energy cracks the inner tube, which starts a reaction that transforms chemical energy into light energy.
