What else can I help you with?
What radiation is given off by a nuclear bomb?
prompt (at time of explosion) - neutron, gamma, x-ray, UV, visible, thermal (IR), some radio.delayed (fallout) - beta, gamma, some alpha.Types of radiation called "ionizing radiation" - alpha, beta, gamma, x-ray, neutron.
Does a bomb produce gamma rays?
Conventional bombs (dynamite, TNT, etc.) are not powerful enough to produce gamma rays. Gamma rays are only produced in a nuclear bomb or a thermonuclear (hydrogen) bomb where nuclear reactions take place.
Where does the sun get its gamma rays from?
The sun is essentially a massive atomic bomb which is taking billions of years to explode. The gamma rays are emitted through a very complex process that converts hydrogen into helium.
What kind of radiation is only emitted during detonation?
detonation of an atomic bomb? I believe it is gamma radiation.Fallout emits large amounts of gamma.It is neutrons.
What is the radiation of a nuclear bomb?
The radiation from a nuclear bomb includes gamma rays, neutrons, and residual radioactive fallout. Gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic radiation, while neutrons are subatomic particles that can induce nuclear reactions in surrounding materials, releasing additional radiation. Fallout consists of radioactive particles and debris from the explosion that can spread over large areas, causing long-term contamination.
Is it true that the three major kinds of radiation gamma rays can penetrate the farthest into a material?
Gamma rays can travel furthest into a material which is why it is emitted in a nuclear bomb blast. In a supernova gamma rays are burst out in all directions. Gamma rays are so deadly all life on Earth could be annihilated because of a single supernova from as far as 7 light years away!
Why are gamma rays not shown in a nuclear reaction?
A nuclear reaction, such as a nuclear bomb or in a nuclear power plant, creates nuclear radiation, which is different then gamma radiation. Gamma radiation is produced primarily by the natural decay of high energy states in atomic nuclei (gamma decay). Or from cosmic sources such as pulsars and radio galaxies. Nuclear radiation is caused by the high energy reaction of atomic particles being broken apart (splitting atoms)
What is the difference between nuclear bomb and plutonium bomb?
A nuclear bomb is any bomb with any nuclear or atomic material inside it, while a plutonium bomb is a specific type of nuclear bomb. Plutonium could be the nuclear material inside the bomb, and if it is, it's a plutonium bomb.
What is the best nuclear bomb?
The best nuclear bomb is the Tsar bomba
When did Germany make nuclear bomb?
Germany has not made a nuclear bomb.
Who is the father of nuclear bomb?
Robert Oppenheimer is the father of nuclear bomb.
What is a nuclear weapon in which enormous energy is released by nuclear fission?
A nuclear bomb or atomic bomb
