Introduction to nuclear reactions | Nuclear fission and Nuclear fusion
The nuclear energy from an atom is liberated by nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.
Why a huge amount of energy is released in nuclear fission of nuclear fusion solution.
Explain how the meanings of the following terms differ. nuclear fission and nuclear fusion
(a) Differentiate between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. (b) Which of the two, nuclear fission or nuclear fusion, is made use of: (i) for the production of electricity? (ii) for making a hydrogen bomb?
(a) Differentiate between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. (b) Which of the two, nuclear fission and nuclear fusion, is made use of : (i) for the production of electricity ? (ii) for making a hydrogen bomb ? (c ) Which produces more energy : nuclear fusion or nuclear fission ? (d) Calculate the energy released in joules when 5 g of a material is completely converted into energy during a nuclear reaction. (e) How much is this energy in MeV ? (Speed of light = 3 xx 10^(8) m//s )
Define the followings: (i) Nuclear fission (ii) Nuclear fusion (iii) Binding energy.
