Yes, for a nuclear weapon to work it has to use fission(splitting of atoms) to acquire its energy. When this fission occurs some small parts of atoms are not completely turned into energy or into the decayed form of uranium. These parts which are usually made up of pairs of one or two nutrons, protons or electrons are then flung at high speeds resulting in radiation.
yes there is extreme amounts of gamma radiation in in nuclear bombs
The same nuclear radiation is released by both fission (atomic) and fusion (hydrogen) bombs. Hydrogen bombs are larger, and produce more.
Yes, there is nuclear energy in nuclear bombs. It is released in a few microseconds when they are detonated.
All forms of nuclear radiation, including alpha, gamma, beta, neutron, are forms of energy.
Nuclear bombs before the 60s were referred to as atom bombs, because the term Nuclear hadn't been discover yet. Nuclear bombs today, are generally Hydrogen bombs, or fusion bombs. They are significantly more powerful, able to places about the size of Rhode Island. Atom bombs,which were mostly uranium and plutonium, lack the destructive power of Nuclear or Fusion bombs.
yes there is extreme amounts of gamma radiation in in nuclear bombs
Because the Blast and radiation are considered harmful to all lifeforms on the Earth.
because of the force and radiation
The same nuclear radiation is released by both fission (atomic) and fusion (hydrogen) bombs. Hydrogen bombs are larger, and produce more.
No, but all insects can tolerate higher radiation doses than can vertebrates before being killed.
Heat from impact, and radiation poisioning and radioactive contamination.
- energy source - radiation source - tracer - fuel for nuclear reactors - explosive for nuclear bombs
Fallout caused by nuclear bombs can cause radiation burns and genetic mutations.
hastily made nuclear weaponsAnswer:Regular explosives together with radioactive material, not strong enough for a nuclear explosion, but spreads radiation which is poisonous.
Nuclear radiation is not affected at all, but radiation by Electromagnetic Radiation is. This is a straight Physics topic, not Nuclear Energy.
Some bombs are nuclear. But most bombs are not nuclear.
yes, both the thermal flash and prompt radiation. the thermal flash is black body radiation from IR up to gamma rays.
