What wave is produced in nuclear explosions?

Nuclear explosions produce a combination of shock waves, heat waves, and electromagnetic waves. The initial shock wave is the most destructive component, causing widespread damage and destruction near the explosion site.


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 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. == ==


How fast does a nuclear bomb explode?

A pure fission bomb completes its detonation in less than 10 microseconds, the fireball reaches full size in a few milliseconds. A fusion bomb takes somewhat longer but is typically more powerful.


Does a nuclear bomb hurt?

A nuclear bomb causes immense destruction and loss of life due to the intense heat, blast wave, and radiation it produces. It can kill and injure thousands of people within seconds and have long-term health effects on survivors due to radiation exposure. The impact of a nuclear bomb can be devastating to both the immediate area and the environment.

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.

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.
