Basically, you get less matter after both processes. The energy achieved can be calculated by E = m*c2. E = Energy. m = the mass "disappeared". c2 = speed of light squared.

Must of the energy released by nuclear fission is in the from of what rays?

The energy released by nuclear fission is primarily in the form of gamma rays, which are high-energy electromagnetic radiation. These gamma rays are emitted as a result of the conversion of mass into energy during the fission process.

How is energy released during nuclear fission?

During nuclear fission, energy is released when a heavy atomic nucleus splits into smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation.


What is it when energy is released through fission or fusion?

When energy is released through fission or fusion, it is known as nuclear energy. Fission involves splitting atoms, releasing energy, while fusion involves combining atoms, also releasing energy. Both processes result in the conversion of mass into energy, as described by Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2.


What form of energy does nuclear fission release?

Nuclear binding energy is released mostly as heat energy.


What type of energy is nuclear energy?

Nuclear energy is released in fission when a nucleus is split. A small proportion of the mass of the nucleus is annihilated and converted to free energy. Initially this appears as the kinetic energy of the fission fragments, this is quickly converted to thermal energy as the fragments are slowed down.
