Nuclear explosions produce a shock wave that moves faster than sound, so the initial blast is typically heard after the explosion has occurred. Additionally, the energy released during a nuclear explosion is so intense that it can damage the eardrums of anyone within range before they have a chance to perceive the sound.
What else can I help you with?
What electromagnetic wave is found in space or nuclear explosions?
Gamma rays. These high energy electromagnetic waves are given of in nuclear reactions (including those in stars)
What rays are emitted from nuclear explosions?
Nuclear explosions emit various types of radiation, including gamma rays, neutrons, and X-rays. These rays are a result of the splitting of atoms during the explosion and can have harmful effects on living organisms and the environment.
How can you prevent from nuclear explosions?
Preventing nuclear explosions involves strict regulation and oversight of nuclear facilities, secure storage of nuclear materials, and diplomatic efforts to promote disarmament and non-proliferation. International agreements such as the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty aim to limit the spread and testing of nuclear weapons. Additionally, fostering peaceful relations between nuclear-armed countries can help reduce the risk of accidental or intentional use of nuclear weapons.
How many of the reactors exploded?
During the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan, three of the reactors experienced hydrogen explosions. These explosions occurred in Reactors 1, 3, and 4.
Can a nuclear power plant turn into a atomic bomb?
No, a reactor is operated at critical and a bomb at supercritical. Also reactors include safety shutdown systems that quickly make them subcritical stopping the reaction.However reactors can have steam explosions and hydrogen/oxygen explosions. These are physical and chemical explosions respectively, not nuclear.
Why cant you hear nuclear explosions from the sun?
Nuclear explosions on the sun, like nuclear fusion reactions, happen in the sun's core which is extremely dense and covered by many layers. The energy produced from these explosions must travel through these layers before reaching the sun's surface and then space, which is why we cannot hear them on Earth. Additionally, sound waves cannot travel through the vacuum of space.
Why can nuclear explosions on the sun not be heard on earth?
Sound cannot travel through the vacuum of space, so we cannot hear nuclear explosions on the sun from Earth. Sound requires a medium to travel through, like air, and space is empty. Additionally, the sun's explosions produce vibrations in the form of electromagnetic waves, which we can detect but not hear as sound.
Why can't we hear nuclear explosions from the sun?
We can't hear nuclear explosions from the sun because sound cannot travel through the vacuum of space. Sound waves require a medium, like air or water, to propagate, but space is mostly empty. Additionally, the sun's explosions release energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, mainly light and heat, rather than sound waves.
Why cant nuclear explosions be heard on earth?
Huh? They not only can be heard but they can be deafening. Using the same seismic equipment used to locate earthquakes, one can "hear" any nuclear explosion anywhere in the entire world, measure its yield, and confirm that it was definitely an explosion not an earthquake (the shockwave pattern is totally different).
What kind of explosions are used in nuclear bombs?
nuclear
What is the nuclear test ban treaty?
Prohibits nuclear weapon test explosions and any other nuclear explosions in three environments: in the atmosphere, in outer space and underwater, but does not prohibit underground nuclear explosions
Why can't we hear explosions?
If you can't hear explosions, you need a doctor. Perhaps we are too far away, or there is another noise which is masking the sound of the explosion.
Would the nuclear explosions in Chernobyl and Japan affect the Ozone and climate?
Very unlikely. Also neither were nuclear explosions:Chernobyl was a massive steam explosion in the cooling system, and Japan was a combination of steam explosions and maybe hydrogen/oxygen explosions. The nuclear releases in both cases were due to breaches of the containment by these explosions. If they had been nuclear explosions many miles from the plants would have been leveled and that did not happen.
Do nuclear explosions cause seismic waves?
Yes.
What effects of nuclear explosions create a huge crater?
Blast
How does a star make it's light?
Nuclear explosions. Thousands of them.
