What else can I help you with?
The energy and particles given off during a nuclear reaction are called?
Radiation
I’m a nuclear reaction which of the following must be conserved?
In a nuclear reaction, mass and energy must be conserved. Nuclear reactions involve the conversion of mass into energy, following Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2, which states that mass and energy are equivalent.
What are nuclear bombs made out of?
Nuclear bombs are made of highly enriched uranium or plutonium. These materials undergo a nuclear fission chain reaction, releasing enormous amounts of energy in the form of heat and radiation, resulting in a powerful explosion. Additionally, nuclear bombs contain conventional high explosive materials to trigger the nuclear reaction and amplify the blast.
Do nuclear reactors burn uranium or do they split the atoms?
Nuclear reactors split uranium atoms in a process called nuclear fission to release energy. This process generates heat that is used to produce steam, which then drives turbines to generate electricity. Burning uranium would involve a chemical reaction, while nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction.
What happens when you combine plutonium and uranimu?
When you combine plutonium and uranium, a nuclear reaction can occur which releases a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation. This process is known as nuclear fission, where the nuclei of the atoms split into smaller fragments, releasing energy and additional neutrons. This reaction is the basis for nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
What emitted particles maintain a nuclear chain reaction?
In most cases neutrons are emitted and capable of maintaining a nuclear chain reaction
What type of radiation is given off in the nuclear reaction 14 6 C 14 7 N plus?
The type of radiation given off in this nuclear reaction is beta minus (β-) radiation. In this process, a neutron in the carbon-14 nucleus converts into a proton and an electron, which is emitted as beta radiation. This results in the transformation of carbon-14 into nitrogen-14.
Radiation is one of the long-term effects of a nuclear detonation what type of radiation is emitted only during the detonation?
AlphaBetaGammaX-RayNeutronUVBUVAVisible lightIRMicrowavesMore or less some of everything.
Is there a difference between radiation and nuclear radiation?
Yes, radiation is a broader term that refers to the emission and propagation of energy through space or a material medium. Nuclear radiation specifically refers to the particles and electromagnetic radiation emitted from the nucleus of an atom, typically during a nuclear reaction such as radioactive decay or nuclear fission.
What particles maintain a nuclear chain reaction?
In most cases neutrons are emitted and capable of maintaining a nuclear chain reaction
What type of radiation is emitted only during detonation?
None. All types of radiation emitted by an exploding nuclear device are also emitted under other conditions, including natural conditions. These types of radiation are: alpha, beta, gamma, neutron, x-rays, IR, visible light, UV, EMP. Some types of naturally present radiation NOT produced by exploding nuclear devices are: cosmic rays, muon showers, proton.
What type of radiation emitted during a nuclear detonation and from fallout results in whole body exposure?
Gamma radiation
How are nuclear reactors shielded?
Nuclear reactors are shielded using materials that absorb or block harmful radiation emitted during the nuclear reaction process. The shielding typically consists of concrete, lead, or steel to contain and reduce the amount of radiation that can escape from the reactor core. Multiple layers of shielding are used to protect workers, the environment, and surrounding areas from exposure to radiation.
What is emitted mainly during nuclear detonation does not present a fallout hazard?
Neutron Radiation
What is emitted mainly during a nuclear detonation?
Shockwaves and thermal radiation are mainly emiited in a nuclear detonation. When the nuclear blasts hits the ground, kinetic energy from the impact will be released, similar to an earthquake, causing shockwaves. Thermal radiation, or electromagnetic radiation, a result of energy released from the nuclear reaction of two nitrogen atoms forming a carbon and an oxygen atom, causes fires, thermal burns and blindness.
What is the nuclear radiation that is emitted from natural sources all around us called?
The nuclear radiation emitted from natural sources all around us is called background radiation. It includes radiation from sources like radon gas, cosmic rays, and radioactive materials in soil and rocks. This background radiation is typically low-level and varies depending on geographic location.
Nuclear radiation refers to charged particles or energy emitted by an unstable what?
Nucleus
