Nuclear Fission And Fusion Flashcards
1
Q
What is m is Einstein’s mass energy equation?
A
the rest Mass - an object that is stationary
2
Q
What happens in fusion in terms of mass and energy?
A
Mass is lost - energy is released
3
Q
What happens for fission of nucleon numbers higher than 56 ?
A
Mass is lost - realise of energy
4
Q
What happens when a particle and antiparticle meet in space?
A
Annihilation to release energy
5
Q
What is the minimum energy required for a photon to spontaneously produce a matter-antimatter pair? (Pair production?)
A
the combined rest masses ( rest mass of one particle will equal rest mass of another particle)
6
Q
Strangeness is conserve unless…
A
the hadron decays via the weak force
