Two bombs of a thery

Welcome back to E=Mc^2. Last time we talked about the A-bomb. So this time I want to compare it to another weapon created with Einstein’s Theory of relativity, the H-bomb.

First I think we’ll look at the A-bomb a little more closely. Last time we learned that the A-bomb used a rare isotope of Uranium U-235. Now let me explain why. U-235 is an unstable isotope witch makes it easier to brake. You see most nuclear bombs use fission the splitting of atoms. When this happens the exes mass is transformed into energy resulting in an explosion. This is a quote describing the blast.

“The brilliant light from the detonation pierced the early morning skies with such intensity that residents from a faraway neighboring community would swear that the sun came up twice that day. Even more astonishing is that a blind girl saw the flash 120 miles away.”

WOW right, but now let’s talk about the H-bomb. Unlike the A-bomb the H-bomb uses fusion. Witch is the nonbinding of atoms to make new heaver atoms. But the leftover mass is still converted to energy. Do to the immense heat rewired for fusion the destructive power in terms of physical forces is even grater then the A-bomb. It is also how the H-bomb got its nickname the thermonuclear bomb.

Fusion and Fission aren’t the only deferens between A and H bombs.

“Since the fusion reaction produces mostly neutrons and very little that is radioactive, the concept of a "clean" bomb has resulted: one having a small atomic trigger, a less fissionable tamper, and therefore less radioactive fallout”

The lasting radiation from the A-bomb causes more physiological and environmental damage in the long run.

Even with these defenses there are some similarities like,

“Like other types of nuclear explosion, the explosion of a hydrogen bomb creates an extremely hot zone near its center. In this zone, because of the high temperature, nearly all of the matter present is vaporized to form a gas at extremely high pressure.”

Also both use the energy formed from exes mater witch is the forces behind the explosion.

Both of these bombs were formed using some of Einstein’s equations. I was interested to see the direness in the effects of both bombs bout immediate and lasting. It’s sad that a theory meant for peas could be used to blow cites to peaces.
