How is fusion used in a hydrogen bomb?
a hydrogen bomb is a fusion bomb. even though in standard types of hydrogen bombs 90% of the yield is fission, caused by uranium-238 fission by 15 MeV neutrons from the fusion reaction.
Can Atom bomb worked by atomic fission?
Yes. Later, the Hydrogen Bomb used fission/fusion.
Detonation of a fusion type hydrogen bomb is started by?
Detonating a fission bomb.
Is it a fission or fusion reaction?
Fission and fusion are different nuclear reactions.
Do nuclear bombs use nuclear fusion or fission?
Almost all modern nuclear explosive devices use some of each. The early atomic bombs used only fission. All hydrogen bombs use both fission and fusion. Some things you might want to look up are: boosted fission bomb, external electrical fusor neutron source, the plutonium "fission sparkplug" used in each stage of a hydrogen bomb, depleted uranium hydrogen bomb tamper can provide up to 90% of the total yield through fast fission.

Maximam dengrus bomb between nuclear bomb or hydrogen bomb?
If you are asking which has the maximum danger, a hydrogen bomb is one type of nuclear bomb. In general, nuclear bombs can be fission (called atomic) or fusion (hydrogen) A fusion bomb is larger than an fission bomb, and actually uses a fission bomb to start the fusion reaction.
Do H-bombs deal with fission?
To some degree. Hydrogen bombs release energy via nuclear fusion, but they use a fission reaction to trigger the fusion.
Detonation of a fusion type hydrogen bomb is started by?
Detonating a fission bomb.
What is the difference between the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb?
fission vs fusion
What nuclei are fused in the nuclear reaction of a hydrogen bomb?
Deuterium (heavy hydrogen) nuclei and tritium nuclei to form helium nuclei. This comes from lithium deuteride in modern "dry" hydrogen bombs. Neutrons from fission splits the lithium generating tritium just before fusion is ignited..
Nuclear fission where is it found?
stars.... stars are made of hydrogen, helium, and nuclear fusion
Is the nuclear reaction in the sun the same as in nuclear bombs?
In the so-called "hydrogen bomb" or fusion bomb, yes, there is energy released from the same reaction (hydrogen fusing to helium) as in the Sun.However, many if not most atomic bombs are fission bombs that do not involve fusion. In a fission bomb, the nuclei of uranium atoms are split, converting some of their mass to energy.All current fusion bombs include fission reactions to trigger the greater energy release from fusion. But most of the energy in very large fission-fusion bombs comes from a third-stage reaction: the fusion causes an exceptionally powerful fission reaction in a uranium shell around the bomb. This called a Teller-Ulam device or fission-fusion-fission bomb.
Materials of low mass fused together?
This is fusion not fission. In stars like our sun, hydrogen is turned into helium
Do H bombs deal with fission?
They do. While the hydrogen bomb is generally regarded as a weapon that uses nuclear fusion, there is no such thing as a purely fusion-powered device. The fusion reaction is triggered by a fission device that forms part of the bomb.
What do hydrogen bombs produce energy with?
They use the process of fusion of hydrogen isotopesinitiated by compression and heating using x-rays from the process of fission of plutonium-239 and/or uranium-235.Some hydrogen bomb designs get more energy from the process of fission of uranium-238 in the outer tamper initiated by very fast neutrons from the hydrogen isotope fusion. This fission produced energy can be as high as 90% of the total energy in some designs, as well as 90% of the fallout produced.Such designs are called fission-fusion-fission bombs, due to the 3 processes that happen in sequence to produce the energy that drives the explosion.
