How does Einstein's famous equation E mc2 relate to the production of the Sun's energy?
The sun produces energy by the fusion of nuclei of small elements into those of larger elements: for example hydrogen into oxygen. This process involves a loss of mass and that mass is converted into solar energy - in line with Einstein's equation.
Is it true that the scientists in charge of the first hydrogen bomb test calculated the probability that the explosion would initiate a chain reaction of the hydrogen in ocean water?
Maybe. They would have had to think of all the possible side effects but the chance of this happening is tiny. There are two explosions in a hydrogen bomb: a fission reaction of uranium or plutonium. This then creates the heat and pressure in the centre of the explosion to initiate the fusion reaction and explosion. The chances of the fission reaction causing a chain reaction in the water is very small as it needs large unstable nuclei to react like U235 but there is none in the sea. The chances of the fusion reaction creating a chain reaction is even less because the fusing elements need to be at millions of degrees and the sea is not a million degrees.
How does e equals mc2 relate to fission or fussion?
When a single heavy nucleus splits into two or more lighter nuclei (fission), the sum of their masses is less than the mass of the original nucleus. Some mass is missing, and some energy is released. When two light nuclei fuse into a single heavier nucleus (fusion), the mass of the heavier one is less than the sum of the masses of the two light ones. Some mass is missing, and some energy is released. In both events, the missing mass has been converted to energy. If the amount of missing mass is 'm', and you multiply 'm' by the square of the speed of light 'c2' , the answer you get is the amount of energy that was released 'e'. e = mc2
What does E equals mc2 have to do with nuclear fusion?
Some mass is "lost" during nuclear fusion and E = mc2 gives the amount of energy that this "lost" mass will be equal to.
What atomic bombs were made from Albert Einstein's E equals mc squared?
None. The amount of energy released by an atomic bomb is an infinitesimally small fraction of the amount given by that equation. The atomic bomb is based on chain reactions: fission driven by neutron chain reaction, fusion bomb driven by high heat & pressure.
How does hydrogen turn into helium in nuclear fusion?
The simplest and easiest reaction to do is deuterium tritium fusion, this makes helium-4 and a free neutron.The next simplest is deuterium deuterium fusion, this can make any of 3 products: helium-4, helium-3 and a free neutron, or tritium and hydrogen.The hardest is multistep, hydrogen hydrogen fusion, this makes helium-2 which instantly beta decays to deuterium, followed by deuterium deuterium or deuterium tritium fusion.There are various other pathways too.
What substances does nuclear fusion use?
Experiments in fusion have used deuterium and tritium, both isotopes of hydrogen
In nuclear fusion what element gets fused?
Mainly; hydrogen, deuterium, and tritium
What is the most powerful fusion weapon?
The hydrogen bomb basically it is the deuterium bomb which is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen.
Why a hydrogen bomb is called a hydrogen bomb?
The fusion reaction in thermonuclear weapons (hydrogen bombs) is caused by the nuclear fusion of different isotopes of hydrogen (tritium and deuterium), hence the name.
What was the design of the hydrogen fusion bomb?
Basically its a blanket of heavy hydrogen (deuterium) around a "regular" atomic bomb.
What is the power source for fusion?
The most likely fuel for fusion on earth is a mixture of deuterium and tritium (both isotopes of hydrogen)
What is the fuel source for fusion?
Hydrogen in stars. Man made attempts use the heavier isotopes of Hydrogen (Deuterium, Tritium) and sometimes Lithium.
Who recognised that large energy is released as a result of the fusion of hydrogen nuclei to form deuterium?
The most likely fusion reaction to be exploited is deuterium + tritium forming helium +a neutron, not what you have put in your question. The physics of this was worked out by Hans Bethe
What is laser driven fusion?
The light emitted by a laser has an associated energy (Energy = Plank's Constant(times)frequency of the light => E=h*f). If the energy is high enough coupled with amplification techniques this energy can be utilized the induce fusion of the fuel. The fuel can be Deuterium-Deuterium, Deuterium-Tritium, Deuterium-Helium(3), or Hydrogen-Boron. The fusion of these atoms leads to product atoms and the release of energy.
How is helium formed from hydrogen?
It's called the proton-proton cycle. It's the source of the sun's energy. Also called nuclear fusion.
What is the advantage of using tritium with deuterium in a hydrogen bomb?
DT fusion has the lowest temperature/pressure of ignition of all fusion processes, and so is the easiest to start.
