Why does an atomic bomb go off?
An atomic bomb goes off when a chain reaction of nuclear fission is triggered, causing a massive release of energy in the form of heat, light, and radiation. This chain reaction is initiated by compressing a critical mass of fissile material, such as uranium or plutonium, to a point where the atoms split and release more neutrons to continue the reaction.
What do hydrogen bombs give off?
Hydrogen bombs give off a tremendous amount of energy in the form of heat, light, and radiation when they detonate. This energy release is the result of the nuclear fusion process that occurs in the bomb's core.
What is the safest place when a nuclear bomb goes off?
The safest place during a nuclear bomb explosion is underground in a well-built structure, such as a basement or bomb shelter. The goal is to put as much material as possible between yourself and the blast to reduce exposure to radiation. It is important to follow official emergency guidelines and seek shelter as quickly as possible in the event of a nuclear attack.
How much force is given off from a nuclear bomb?
The force released by a nuclear bomb is typically measured in kilotons or megatons of TNT. For example, the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima released an energy equivalent to approximately 15 kilotons of TNT. The force generated from a nuclear explosion is determined by the size and type of the bomb.
What was the largest nuclear bomb?
When people talk about nuclear bombs, they are generally in two categories; atomic and thermonuclear. Atomic bombs are like the ones dropped on Japan in 1945.Thermonuclear bombs have never been used in warfare and involve using an atomic bomb to set off an explosion of a thermonuclear bomb, like a hydrogen bomb.IN ADDITION:The Soviet exploded the largest nuclear bomb to date back in 1961. It was a hydrogen bomb which released energy equivalent to 57 megatons of TNT. Compare that to the 15 kilotons of energy released by the first atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima Japan during WWII ( 3,800 times more energy released). The name of this device was Tsar Bomba, meaning "king of bombs."
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.
Are gamma rays emitted whenever a nuclear bomb goes off?
yes. the fallout also emits gamma rays.
What kind of energy is given off by an atom bomb?
An atomic bomb puts out many kinds of energy: Heat Light Radio waves Electrical And as these energies move outward, they in turn trigger many other types of energy.
Can you set off a nuclear bomb with an x ray?
no!
Is the nuclear bomb turned off yet?
yes
What happens when a nuclear bomb is set off?
It explodes.
Which is most powerful the hydrogen bomb the atom bomb or the uranium bomb?
The 'uranium bomb' is an A-bomb and is a first generation nuclear weapon. The hydrogen bomb or H-bomb is a 2nd generation nuclear weapon and generally many times more powerful. 'H-bomb' can also refer to 3rd generation nuclear weapons that have an additional mass off uranium to provide further fuel, triggered by the 2nd generation fusion reaction; these are the most powerful. But recent studies show that the H-Bomb has more mass, therefore more energy, and therefore has more energy. So the H-bomb is more powerful.
Who set off the first nuclear bomb?
US, who else?
