How high was the atom bomb detonated on Hiroshima?
The atomic bomb was detonated about 1,900 feet (580 meters) above Hiroshima.
Diameter of destruction from atomic bomb?
Depends on the size of the bomb (they come in many different sizes- bigger is more destructive) and how high the bomb is above ground when it explodes. Most are set to explode when several hundred feet above ground.
What is used as a trigger in a hydrogen bomb?
A traditional nuclear fission bomb is used as a trigger in a hydrogen bomb. The explosion from the fission bomb generates the high temperatures and pressures needed to initiate the fusion reaction in the hydrogen bomb.
Is there more than one kind of atomic bomb?
Actually there are several types of atomic bomb, which include your basic fission bomb, the more powerful hydrogen bomb, the enhanced radiation or neutron bomb, the high-fallout cobalt bomb for maximum toxicity, and the pocket-nuke, to smuggle in your luggage in order to clandestinely destroy some enemy city.
What is an hydrogen bomb?
A hydrogen bomb is a nuclear weapon that releases atomic energy by union of light(hydrogen) nuclear at high temperatures to form helium.
How high did the little boy bomb exploded?
The bomb was exploded at a height of about 550 meters (1800) above ground.
How high did the atomic bomb rise in Hiroshima?
The cloud rose to over 60,000 feet in about ten minutes.
What was the Interim Committee?
A secret high level group that was created to examine the problems from the creation of the atomic bomb.
What atomic bombs were made from Albert Einstein's E equals mc squared?
None. The amount of energy released by an atomic bomb is an infinitesimally small fraction of the amount given by that equation. The atomic bomb is based on chain reactions: fission driven by neutron chain reaction, fusion bomb driven by high heat & pressure.
Was japan working to develop the atomic bomb?
Yes Japan had an atomic bomb project, but they had made little progress. They could not get high quality high power vacuum tubes needed for cyclotrons, so they had done few experiments. Unlike Germany, Japan had not even begun work on reactors.
What the A bomb?
An A Bomb also known as the Atomic Bomb or Nuclear bomb is a high powered explosive that is created with a nuclear element such as Uranium. Created in 1945 during the Manhattan Project, only used twice during war; both by the USA on Japan
Does fusion reaction occur in an atomic bomb?
Yes, fusion reactions occur in a hydrogen bomb, which is a type of nuclear bomb. The high temperatures and pressures generated by the fission reaction in the bomb can trigger fusion reactions between hydrogen isotopes. This fusion reaction releases a large amount of energy, contributing to the destructive power of the bomb.
