The first nuclear bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan on 6 August 1945. this was the gun-type weapon codenamed Little Boy. Three days later, 9 August 1945, the third nuclear detonation in history occurred over Nagasaki, Japan, with the dropping of the implosion type device, Fat Man. The first nuclear detonation in history occurred at the Trinity test site outside Alamogordo, New Mexico on 16 July 1945.

No, the hydrogen fusion bomb was not developed until 1952. The first nuclear weapons were developed and used in combat in 1945.

Shock and Awe
A gravity dropped nuclear bomb could fall several tens of thousands of feet from bomber to detonation. A ballistic missile's warhead could travel tens of thousands of miles from launch site to detonation.
Blasts, thermal radiation, and prompt ionizing radiation causing significant destruction within seconds or minutes of a nuclear detonation.
As with any bomb the primary effect is blast.

The first hydrogen bomb tested by the US was codenamed "Mike" and tested in the Marshall Islands.
After a nuclear bomb goes off, the energy goes into everything around the place of detonation in a variety of different forms (e.g. blast wave, flying debris, light, nuclear radiation, sound, winds).
The detonation of the bomb seemed fast approaching and inevitable.
roughly 50,000 meters per second at the moment of detonation. it quickly slows to subsonic speeds.
