The phenomenon occurring during explosion of a hydrogen bomb is___________________?
Correct answer: B. A combination of both nuclear fission & fusion
- A. Nuclear fission
- B. A combination of both nuclear fission & fusion
- C. Nuclear fusion
- D. None of these
Explanation
A hydrogen bomb uses a fission reaction to initiate the extremely high temperature needed for hydrogen-isotope fusion, so both processes occur. Fusion supplies most of the thermonuclear energy, while fission provides the trigger.
