APPLICATION OF HIGHER LDE (GROWTH AND DECAY) Radium decomposes in air at a rate proportionate to its current concentration. If there are 40grams in the start, and after 12 years, 0.8 percent of the original quantity has decomposed: a. Set model that predicts the quantity of radium at any given moment (t). c. What is the radium half-life? c. How much money will be left in 900 years? NOTE: Indicate a simple step by step process with solutions
Nuclear Fusion
Nuclear fusion is a type of nuclear reaction. In nuclear fusion, two or more than two lighter atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus. During this process, an enormous amount of energy is released. This energy is called nuclear energy. Nuclear fusion is the energy source of the sun and stars.
Fusion Bomb
A fusion bomb is also known as a thermonuclear bomb or hydrogen bomb which releases a large amount of explosive energy during a nuclear chain reaction when the lighter nuclei in it, combine to form heavier nuclei, and a large amount of radiation is released. It is an uncontrolled, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction where isotopes of hydrogen combine under very high temperature to form helium. They work on the principle of operation of atomic fusion. The isotopes of Hydrogen are deuterium and tritium, where they combine their masses and have greater mass than the product nuclei, get heated at high temperatures, and releases energy.
