The main purpose of the hydrogen bomb was to create a much more powerful and destructive nuclear weapon than the atomic bomb. It was designed to release energy from nuclear fusion reactions, which is many times greater than that of nuclear fission reactions used in atomic bombs.
The "h" in "h-bomb" stands for "hydrogen." The hydrogen bomb is a type of nuclear weapon that uses nuclear fusion to release energy.
A hydrogen bomb is called so because it mainly relies on the fusion of hydrogen isotopes to release energy. The fusion process is what distinguishes it from an atomic bomb, which relies on nuclear fission.
Atom Bomb = Uranium H-Bomb = Hydrogen
In general, a fusion bomb (hydrogen bomb) is more powerful than a fission (atomic) bomb. Fusion bombs use an atomic bomb to begin the fusion reaction.
Transmutation occurs when a fusion bomb (H-bomb) detonates: The Primary (A-bomb/fission) converts a heavy element like plutonium or uranium into lighter elements, such as strontium, etc... The Secondary (H-bomb/fusion part) converts a light element into heavier elements, like Hydrogen into Helium.
The H bomb is short for hydrogen bomb. It is used as a thermonuclear weapon and the only purpose of it is to destroy things or people efficiently and on a large scale.
What size of Hydrogen Bomb? How many megatons? the biggest size of hydrogen bomb can done ...........
The Hydrogen bomb.
The Hydrogen Bomb .
A hydrogen bomb (thermonuclear bomb) is more destructive than a regular nuclear bomb (fission bomb). Hydrogen bombs release much larger amounts of energy and have the potential to create significantly more devastation and damage.
hydrogen bomb
A bomb that splits a hydrogen atom, which literally explodes the air.
the hydrogen bomb has never been used in war
The 50 Megaton "Tsar Bomba" hydrogen bomb tested by the USSR in 1961 is the strongest hydrogen bomb ever detonated. The 10 Megaton "Ivy Mike" hydrogen bomb tested by the U.S. in 1952 is the physically largest hydrogen bomb ever detonated.
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.
