The fast neutron chain reaction triggers multiple fissions at an exponentially increasing rate. This happens so rapidly that all the fissions needed to release the energy for the explosion have split in an interval of time on the order of 10 microseconds.
Well, the technical explanation is very complicated, so I will make it more simple: there are the fission bomb, and the thermonuclear bomb. The fission bomb makes an explosion through the splitting of atom. Atom is the smallest measurement. There are neutrons and photons in a atom. But when you split the atom to make a big explosion, you do not use any atom. We usually use an atom of uranium-235. When the uranium atom is split, the normal amount of neutrons or photons does not come out. Then the neutrons release lots of energy! (Very simple explanation: A fission bomb is a bomb that uses energy from splitting uncontrolled atoms. And a thermonuclear bomb is just opposite to fission bomb, it gets energy from fusion of atoms to make a heavier one.
No, all he did was write to the president (FDR) that the atom bomb should be developed because there was concern that Germany may do it first.April 1932 John Cockcroft and Ernest Walton (in the UK) split the atom for the first time.
he invented the dynamite or the atom bomb
Yes, it is possible to split an atom through a process called nuclear fission.
He didn't He came up with a formula which decribed the relationship between mass and energy (e=mc2). This showed how much energy would be released when mass disappeared, which is what happens when the bomb explodes, but he didn't actually do it.
uranium
no it doesnt
you can split atoms that's how they created the atom bomb
Yes, an atom can break or split. This is the concept behind the atom bomb.
NO! They only split one atom in an Atomic Bomb. think of what would happen if you did it at home!
They split the atoms which causes a great release of energy.
Robert Julius Oppenheimer is credited with being the Father of the Atom bomb, but he was American.
First the radioactive material and split the atom. So it is not a discovery is was hard work.
The isotopes are uranium-235 or plutonium-239.
The name for an explosive device caused by the split of an atom is an atom, or atomic bomb. It was used on Nagasaki and Hiroshima in WWII to end the war.
Otto Hahn, Fritz Strassmann and Lise Meitner in 1939; I consider that the expression father of the atomic bomb is not adequate.
Atom Bomb goes by Adam Bomb.
