The Atomic bomb is another military explosive weapon. Instead of using a chemical explosive, it used the decomposition energy of an atom as the explosive force. This creates blast energy, light and heat, and a sleet of sub-atomic particles.
The power of atomic bombs is measured as the equivalent in tons of TNT. A small bomb might be 10 kiloton of TNT, and a large one 50 Megaton.
They are commonly designed to explode in the air, as that maximizes the blast damage, when the reflected pressure wave from the ground reacts against the still-incoming pressure wave from the bomb itself. These pressure waves are supersonic.
The long term effects of the ionizing radiation are mainly in I-131, and in Leukaemias.
