How much heat can an atomic bomb create?

Atomic bombs are a perfect example of a nuclear reaction that causes massive destruction. Atom bombs have a power equivalent to millions of tons of ordinary explosive. The temperatures of fusion nuclear explosions can go up into the millions of kelvin.


Which energy can be sensed by the ears in science?

Sound energy can be sensed by the ears in science. Sound energy travels in the form of waves and causes the eardrums to vibrate, which our brains interpret as sound.


Nuclear weapons in which enormous energy is released by nuclear fission?

During the detonation of a nuclear bomb an enormous amount of energy is released as fission due to the splitting (fissioning) of atoms of uranium or plutonium. In the case of a simple nuclear weapon (such as those dropped on Japan during World War 2) this is where the explosion stops. In the case of a hydrogen bomb, also referred to as a thermonuclear weapon, the energy released by the fission is used to trigger the fusion of atoms of hydrogen, releasing energy in the same way that the sun produces energy.


The immediate destructive action of a nuclear explosion is caused by this?

This would be the emission of thermal radiation during detonation. Ionizing radiation is also emitted at the speed of light at this time as well, but I wouldn't consider this to be the most relevant immediate destructive action. blast. its slower but causes the most immediate destruction.


What energy transformations are in a nuclear bomb?

In a nuclear bomb, the transformation of nuclear potential energy (from the nuclei of atoms) into thermal energy and kinetic energy occurs during the process of nuclear fission. This causes a rapid release of energy in the form of a powerful explosion.

What is emitted mainly during a nuclear detonation?

Shockwaves and thermal radiation are mainly emiited in a nuclear detonation. When the nuclear blasts hits the ground, kinetic energy from the impact will be released, similar to an earthquake, causing shockwaves. Thermal radiation, or electromagnetic radiation, a result of energy released from the nuclear reaction of two nitrogen atoms forming a carbon and an oxygen atom, causes fires, thermal burns and blindness.

What is a fall out shelter?

A nuclear fall out shelter is anywhere you can hide from the effects of a nuclear detonation. When a nuclear device is detonated above the ground it causes debris to be tossed into the troposphere and sometime stratosphere. This then falls back to earth as radioactive particles. A fall out shelter usually has three feet of soil above it to absorb the gamma radiation that is emitted from these particles. In most cases the radioactive particles dissipate quickly and people have to only be in a fallout shelter for a few weeks. Underground shelters also act against blast and thermal radiation (heat radiation) from a nuclear detonation. http://www.waverage.com has more about this.
