Which of the following processes will result in a fission reaction
Correct answer: A. 92 U 235 is bombarded with fast-moving neutron
- A. 92 U 235 is bombarded with fast-moving neutron
- B. 92 U 235 is bombarded with thermal neutron
- C. 92 U 238 is bombarded with slow-moving neutron
- D. 92 U 235 is being unstable breaks into smaller fragments
Explanation
Fast neutrons are more likely to induce fission reactions in uranium-235.

About Nuclear Physics
Atomic nuclei contain protons and neutrons, with nuclear size, mass defect and binding energy describing their stability. The work covers alpha, beta and gamma decay, decay equations, half-life and decay rate, along with radiation safety and medical applications such as imaging, radiotherapy and tracers.
