Energy released during nuclear fusion?
gamma ray photon
Match each term to its definition. A. solar wind energy released during nuclear fusion B. solar prominence a violent explosion that may appear as a loop or an arc C. gamma ray photon a stream of charg?
i am not able to find the answer
What is generated in the suns core?
Helium is generated in the core of our sun by nuclear synthesis .During the nuclear fusion inside the sun , hydrogen is fused into helium .the main products generated in this reaction are - Gamma ray photon, positron, neutrino, isotopes of hydrogen and helium and large amount of energy .
What fuels the suns enormous energy output?
Nuclear fusion ... the same reaction responsible for the enormous but brief energy output of a "hydrogen bomb".Except that in the core of the sun, it has been going continuously for billions of years.
What state does an electron move to its ground state from in a gaseous atom in order for a photon to be emitted?
In a transition to ground state, a photon is radiated away. It carries off the energy to make a transition to ground state possible. As soon as it is created, the photon is off to the races. It travels away at the speed of light (for the medium in which it is moving).
Why is massive star more luminious than a less massive star?
This fact can explain with the help of nuclear fusion in small stars and massive stars in small stars like our sun nuclear fusion followed by the proton -proton chain reaction in which main products are positron, gamma ray photon, neutrino and isotopes of hydrogen and helium and energy released in millions of electron volts but in the case of massive stars nuclear fusion is followed by the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen cycle and helium can further transform into the carbon by triple alpha process and in the massive star much heavier elements can burn producing very large amount of energy than our sun and some of the massive star can produce luminosity 60000 times more than our sun
When an electron drops to a lower energy level what is the energy of a photon released?
The energy of the photon is the same as the energy lost by the electron
What does hydrogen helium make?
Hydrogen and Helium are the first two in the table of elements. Both have several isotopes, but only one stable one each. In our Sun (and most other stars) the fusion of Hydrogen to Helium is the process that gives us our light and heat.
How long does it take for 1 photon of light to leave the Sun?
It is believed that a photon of light takes about a million years to travel from the centre of the Sun to the Photosphere. This is because the gamma rays (high-energy photons) released in fusion reactions are absorbed in only a few millimeters of solar plasma and then re-emitted again in random direction and at slightly lower energy.
Where does an electron move after a photon is released?
lower energy level
When an electron falls from a higher energy level to a lower energy energy level how is the energy released?
The energy is released as electromagetic energy and each transition in each atom has its own wavelength for the light emitted.
How do stars produce huge amounts of energy?
Stars produce so much energy because of nuclear reactions occuring in their core. Hydrogen atoms are smashing together and fusing into helium through a process known as nuclear fusion which releases huge amounts of energy.
