The intense blast wave from a nuclear detonation is responsible for causing lung damage and ruptured eardrums. The rapid change in air pressure can lead to these injuries by creating a powerful shockwave that propagates outward from the explosion.
An atomic bomb can release heat equivalent to temperatures reaching millions of degrees Celsius within the detonation zone. The massive amount of energy released during a nuclear explosion can result in extreme temperatures capable of vaporizing almost anything within the blast radius.
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 utilize the energy released from nuclear fission reactions to create explosive power. The process involves splitting atomic nuclei, resulting in a chain reaction that leads to a massive release of energy in a very short amount of time. This energy release is what causes the destructive force associated with nuclear weapons.
The immediate destructive action of a nuclear explosion is caused by the release of an immense amount of energy in the form of heat, blast pressure, and radiation. This energy can cause widespread damage to buildings, infrastructure, and living organisms within the blast radius.
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.
