Atomic Bombs

Atomic bomb is an explosive device in which a large amount of energy is released through nuclear reactions. This makes an atomic bomb, more properly called a nuclear weapon, a much more powerful device than any conventional bomb containing chemical explosives. The first Atomic Bombs were used during World War 2 in 1945 by the US onto 2 Japanese cities.

Who was the creator of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima during World War II was created by a team of scientists led by J. Robert Oppenheimer as part of the Manhattan Project. Oppenheimer is often considered the "father of the atomic bomb" due to his important role in its development.

Was there a book written about the atomic bomb before they were developed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, there were books written about the concept of atomic energy and the potential for atomic bombs before they were actually developed. One notable example is H.G. Wells' 1914 novel "The World Set Free," which featured a speculative portrayal of atomic bombs and their impact on society.

How is the race to the Atomic bomb relevant to Shakespeare's Macbeth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The race to the Atomic bomb can be relevant to Macbeth in terms of the moral and ethical implications of scientific advancements. Just as Macbeth faced moral dilemmas in his quest for power, the scientists involved in developing the atomic bomb grappled with the consequences of their actions. Both scenarios raise questions about the responsible use of power and the impact of unchecked ambition.

This quote by Aeschylus highlights how even in our unconscious state, pain can deeply affect us and lead to wisdom through the grace of God. It suggests that deep suffering can ultimately bring about unexpected growth and enlightenment, even when we resist it.

How many children where orphan after the atomic bombs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is estimated that around 10,000-15,000 children in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were orphaned after the atomic bombs were dropped in 1945. Many of these children faced challenges in the aftermath of the bombings, including loss of family members, health issues, and lack of resources.

Did anybody win the nobel peace prize that invented the atomic bomb?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, J. Robert Oppenheimer, who was one of the key figures in developing the atomic bomb during World War II, did not win the Nobel Peace Prize. The Nobel Committee has typically been hesitant to award the Peace Prize to individuals associated with nuclear weapons development.

How did the ww2 end in 1945?

Asked by Wiki User

World War II ended in 1945 with the unconditional surrender of Germany on May 8th and the surrender of Japan on August 15th. The surrender of Germany was signed in Reims, France, and the surrender of Japan took place on the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay. These surrenders marked the end of the war in Europe and the Pacific, respectively.

You can't.

If you mean in a video game (e.g. Fallout New Vegas), then state which one you're talking about.

Can you compare the atomic bomb to the hydrogen bomb?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, however on one level they are the same thing as both obtain their energy from the release of excess nuclear binding energy. However as the terms have traditionally been used the differences are as follows:

  • atomic bomb, a rather simple bomb operating with nuclear fission of heavy element(s) within a "prompt supercritical mass" of a fissile isotope initiated by a pulse of neutrons. The most commonly used fissile isotopes are plutonium-239, uranium-235 (uranium-233 could also be used but has properties similar to plutonium-239). The yield of such a bomb is limited to less than one megaton (with the highest yield such bomb ever tested only half that).
  • hydrogen bomb, a rather complicated bomb operating with nuclear fusion of light element(s) compressed and heated using x-rays generated by either an atomic bomb or another hydrogen bomb in a previous "stage" of the bomb. This "staging" principal permits the yield of a hydrogen bomb to be as large as desired, also the yield can be increased (as well as the fallout) by enclosing the bomb in uranium (even the nonfissionable isotope uranium--238 usually considered "waste" after enriching uranium-235 for atomic bombs can be used) which will be fissioned by the high energy fusion neutrons. This can multiply the yield of the bomb by a factor between 2 to 10 times!
However almost all modern nuclear weapons use both fission and fusion to optimize the bomb's size, weight, yield, etc. for the specific military purpose it is intended to be used for. So the lines are quite blurred.

What are the reasons for using mesh networking?

User Avatar

Asked by Sadeq

Mesh networking is a type of network in which each node relays data for the network. This type of network is very reliable because it does not have a single point of failure. Mesh networks are also very scalable because they can be easily expanded as needed. One disadvantage of mesh networking is that it can be more expensive to set up and maintain than other types of networks.

Why did American refuse to share nuclear secrets?

Asked by Wiki User

Actually the US after WW2 offered to share everything about nuclear weaponry (the Baruch Plan on June 15, 1946), but the USSR refused the offer (they already had it all anyway through spies).
