Option 2 : The process is used for making nuclear bomb.

The correct answer is option 2 i.e., The process is used for making nuclear bomb

  • A nuclear bomb uses either uranium or plutonium and relies on fission, a nuclear reaction in which a nucleus or an atom breaks two pieces.
  • The by-products of nuclear fission include free neutrons, photons usually in the form of gamma rays, and other nuclear fragments such as beta particles and alpha particles.
  • Nuclear fission produces energy for nuclear power and to drive explosion of nuclear weapons.
  • Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei are combined to form one or more different atomic nuclei and subatomic particles (neutrons or protons).
  • An example of nuclear fusion is the process of four hydrogen coming together to form helium.
  • A hydrogen bomb is based on the principle of uncontrollable nuclear fusion.

In the following question, the 1st and the last part of the sentence/passage are numbered 1 and 6. The rest of the sentence/ passage is split into four parts and named P, Q, R and S. These four parts are not given in their proper order. Read the sentence/ passage and find out which of the four combinations is correct. 1. Jupiter has 2.5 times more mass than all the other planets of the solar system combined and is 11 times as large as Earth in diameter. P. Jupiter is so large that scientists believe it almost became a star: as the gases and dust contracted to the form the planet, Q. But there was not enough mass available to create the temperature needed to start a fusion reaction such as that of the Sun. R. Thus, Jupiter has been cooling down ever since.  S. gravitational forces created tremendous pressure and the temperature inside the core—as high as tens of thousands of degrees. 6. Even so, Jupiter radiates about as much heat as it receives from the Sun.?
