Other than the light, heat, and UV radiation (which can be reflected by most metals) from a nuclear bomb, nothing can reflect the radiation.
The various forms of nuclear radiation are absorbed not reflected:
- alpha radiation is completely absorbed by one ordinary sheet of paper, no metal is needed
- beta radiation can be absorbed by most metals very efficiently
- gamma radiation is poorly absorbed and can pass through many feet of even very dense metals like lead and uranium
- neutron radiation is poorly absorbed and can pass through many feet of even very dense metals like lead
What else can I help you with?
What is a nuclear weapon in wich enormous energy is released by nuclear fission?
This nuclear weapon is called an atomic bomb or a nuclear bomb
Sentence for radiation?
The Nuclear bomb poured out harmful Radiation everywhere within a one hundred mile radius.
Which type of nuclear reaction is used in modern-day nuclear reactors?
Nuclear fission is used in nuclear weapons to create what some might call an atomic blast (nuclear blast). Nuclear fission used this way can also be applied in special complex designs to generate enough thermal energy (heat) to initiate a fusion reaction. This creates an even bigger nuclear blast.
What does the h in h-bomb stand for?
The "h" in "h-bomb" stands for "hydrogen." The hydrogen bomb is a type of nuclear weapon that uses nuclear fusion to release energy.
What does an atomic bomb use for its explosive power?
An atomic bomb is made up from the inside out by: a plutonium pit(ball) about the sized as a honeydew melon. surrounded by about 2 inches of high explosive on all sides. This is triggered in a USA bomb by an intricate series of safety triggers that prevent accidental explosion by altitude triggers, timers, and arming triggers. Excess nuclear binding energy supplied by the strong nuclear force.
Does a nuclear bomb give radiation?
Yes a nuclear bomb gives radiation. Radiation is transfer of energy through empty space.
How do you put radiation in a sentenc?
The nuclear bomb produced deadly radiation.
How do you put radiation in a simple sentence?
The nuclear bomb produced deadly radiation.
Does a nuclear bomb have radiation in it?
Yes, a nuclear bomb produces radiation as a result of the nuclear fission or fusion reactions that release large amounts of energy. This radiation can have immediate and long-term harmful effects on living organisms and the environment.
What damage does a nuclear bomb to a regular bomb?
first off, of course, a nuclear bomb is thousands of times stronger than a normal bomb. a nuclear bomb also carries radiation, energy that causes poisoning and cancer, while most normal bombs cant do that.
the impact of the nuclear bomb?
Blasts, thermal radiation, and prompt ionizing radiation causing significant destruction within seconds or minutes of a nuclear detonation.
How radiation is linked to chernobyl and hiroshima?
A nuclear bomb was dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. And in 1986 a nuclear accident occurred at Chernobyl. That's why radiation is linked with either of them.
Did the atomic bomb and nuclear use to help us or for harm?
atomic bomb caused harm while the nuclear energy can be both harmful(radiation) and harmless(for electricity).
Would the radiation of a Nuclear Bomb effect a person underwater?
Yes, the radiation from a nuclear bomb can penetrate water and affect a person submerged underwater. However, the distance and depth the person is from the detonation point can affect the level of radiation exposure.
What makes up a nuclear bomb?
Depends on the type of bomb. The first nuclear weapons were fission weapons- they used a heavy metal such as Uranium or Plutonium. These metals, when compressed by explosives, would undergo nuclear fission, and break into lighter elements, releasing heat and radiation. Later, larger bombs were fusion bombs. They used a fission bomb to start the nuclear reaction, but then used that energy to FUSE light elements, such as Deuterium and Tritium into heavier elements, releasing LARGE amounts of heat and radiation.
Why was the nuclear bomb dangerous?
Nuclear bombs can be dangerous as during a atomic bomb explosions, it produces radiation. The effects of radiation could be that it can cause permanent damage to cells and can cause mutation. Along with this, it could cause severe burns to the skin.
Does a nuclear bomb hurt?
A nuclear bomb causes immense destruction and loss of life due to the intense heat, blast wave, and radiation it produces. It can kill and injure thousands of people within seconds and have long-term health effects on survivors due to radiation exposure. The impact of a nuclear bomb can be devastating to both the immediate area and the environment.
