Is atomic bomb real?

Yes, atomic bombs are real. They are powerful nuclear weapons that release energy through nuclear fission reactions, causing devastating destruction. The first atomic bombs were developed and used during World War II in 1945.


What is the different between atomic bomb and hydrogen bombs?

The main difference between atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs is the source of their energy. Atomic bombs rely on nuclear fission (splitting atoms), while hydrogen bombs use a two-stage process involving both fission and fusion (combining atoms). Hydrogen bombs are more powerful and destructive than atomic bombs.


What is the Difference in radiation - atomic vs hydrogen bombs?

Atomic bombs use nuclear fission, where heavy atomic nuclei split into smaller ones releasing energy and radiation. Hydrogen bombs use both nuclear fission and fusion, with fusion reactions involving the combining of light atomic nuclei to release even more energy and radiation. Hydrogen bombs are typically more powerful and produce higher levels of radiation compared to atomic bombs.


What bombs are much more powerful than the atomic bombs?

Thermonuclear or hydrogen bombs are significantly more powerful than atomic bombs. These bombs use a two-stage process that combines nuclear fission and fusion reactions, resulting in a much larger explosive yield.


What event is usually credited as having started the Atomic Age in science?

The dropping of atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 during World War II is credited with starting the Atomic Age in science. These bombs marked the first and only use of nuclear weapons in war.
