Hydrogen bomb is based on the principle of (a) controlled fusion reaction (b) uncontrolled fusion reaction (c) controlled fission reaction (d) uncontrolled fission reaction |
|
Answer» (b) uncontrolled fusion reaction. Explanation: Thermonuclear fusion or hydrogen bombs explode with enormous power using uncontrolled self-sustaining chain fusion reactions. Deuterium and tritium, under extremely high temperatures, form helium providing the energy. D + T → 4He + n In principle, a mixture of D, T and 6Li heated to very high temperature and confined to a high density will start a chain fusion reaction, liberating an enormous amount of energy |
