When was the theory of relativity used for the atom bomb?

The theory of relativity, specifically the equation E=mc^2, played a crucial role in the development of the atomic bomb during the Manhattan Project in the early 1940s. This equation helped scientists understand the immense energy release that occurs during nuclear fission, which is the key principle behind the atomic bomb's devastating power.


Compare a hydrogen bomb and an atom bomb?

both r useless Sometimes "atom" bomb is also used to describe a hydrogen bomb. Strictly, historically speaking, the atom bomb works via the energy released when a heavy atom nucleus such as uranium is split (called nuclear fission). This is also the energy source for nuclear power stations. A hydrogen bomb works via the energy released on fusing (called nuclear fusion) two light atoms (such as hydrogen) together - the huge pressure needed is derived from an atom bomb. This situation arises because the atoms towards in the middle of the periodic table are more stable, than those nearer the ends. A lot of electricity is derived nowadays from nuclear fission (nuclear power stations) but no significant power has yet been derived from nuclear fusion, though a lot of work is being done on it.

What is a atom bomb made of?

Atomic bombs are very complex weapons designed to force a rapid collapse of fissionable radioactive materials to force them into a critical state. They may have a "conventional bomb" built into them to force this to occur. The active part of the bomb will be very pure isotopes of either Uranium or Plutonium. Hydrogen bombs are more complicated, and use Hydrogen, Lithium, or Helium to generate the explosive power, but they essentially require the energy of a fission atomic bomb to start the secondary fusion reaction.
