1.	(a) Differentiate between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.(b) Which of the two, nuclear fission and nuclear fusion, is made use of : (i) for the production of electricity ?(ii) for making a hydrogen bomb ? (c ) Which produces more energy : nuclear fusion or nuclear fission ?(d) Calculate the energy released in joules when 5 g of a material is completely converted into energy during a nuclear reaction. (e) How much is this energy in MeV ? (Speed of light = 3 xx 10^(8) m//s)
Answer» ANSWER :(b) (i) Nuclear FISSION(ii) Nuclear fusion (c ) Nuclear fusion (d) `4.5 XX 10^(14) J` (e)`2.8 xx 10^(27) MeV`
