What wave is produced in nuclear explosions?
Blast wave, as with any other explosive bomb.
What are the vertical streamers next to an atomic bomb blast?
It's not from the atomic blast The smoke trails were not caused by the blast itself, but by smoke rockets that created contrails to provide points of reference for measuring the shock wave caused by the nuclear blast.In the first few milliseconds after a nuclear detonation, the fireball and shock wave are indistinguishable, but soon after, the fireball cools a little and the shock wave continues on beyond it. The shock wave is a layer of high density air that expands out from the blast very rapidly. In nuclear testing, the scientists and engineers wanted to be able to track the progress of the shock wave well after it went beyond the fireball. So, they launched smoke rockets well behind the detonation site seconds before detonation. The dense layer of air acted as a sort of lens, refracting the image of the smoke rockets behind it, and allowing those working on the project to calculate the shock velocity and other properties as a scientific function. == ==
Where does the energy go after a nuclear bomb goes off?
After a nuclear bomb goes off, the energy goes into everything around the place of detonation in a variety of different forms (e.g. blast wave, flying debris, light, nuclear radiation, sound, winds).
What damage can a nuclear weapon do?
The effects of nuclear weapons break down into: 1- Thermal (heat damage) 2- Blast damage (shock wave) 3- Residual radiation & fall out.
The higher pressure part of a sound wave is called?
Shock waves
What energy nuclear bomb change?
Nuclear binding energy to thermal energy to blast shock wave energy.
What wave is produced in nuclear explosions?
Blast wave, as with any other explosive bomb.
What do you do when a nuclear bomb is falling from the sky?
Hide behind anything cause either you'll be so close you'll die, or you'll survive from the shock wave shattering all windows.
How fast can the lorry shock wave go?
the g force is
What happens when energy from a nuclear fusion hits water?
By a nuclear fusion you must mean an H-Bomb. This releases tremendous heat energy so it will vaporise a lot of water if it explodes near the surface. The shock wave will also cause massive waves to be created.

Does a bomb produce gamma rays?
Conventional bombs (dynamite, TNT, etc.) are not powerful enough to produce gamma rays. Gamma rays are only produced in a nuclear bomb or a thermonuclear (hydrogen) bomb where nuclear reactions take place.
What can kill more a tornado a huge water wave or a nuke?
A nuclear fusion (H-bomb) bomb can clear an area the size of Rhode Island.
Where does the energy go after a nuclear bomb goes off?
After a nuclear bomb goes off, the energy goes into everything around the place of detonation in a variety of different forms (e.g. blast wave, flying debris, light, nuclear radiation, sound, winds).
When was The Shock Wave created?
The Shock Wave was created in 1994.
What causes the explosive release of energy in the lightning bolt?
Unbelievably rapid resistive heating of air as millions of amperes of current flows through it. The air becomes nearly as hot as the core of a nuclear bomb and expands supersonically, forming a shock wave indistinguishable from that of the detonation of explosives.
What damage can a nuclear weapon do?
The effects of nuclear weapons break down into: 1- Thermal (heat damage) 2- Blast damage (shock wave) 3- Residual radiation & fall out.
