MCQ
The explosion of hydrogen bomb is based on the principle of:
  • A
    Uncontrolled fission reaction
  • Nuclear fusion reaction
  • C
    Controlled fission reaction
  • D
    Photoelectric effect

Answer

Correct option: B.
Nuclear fusion reaction

Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei come close enough to form one or more different atomic nuclei and subatomic particles $($neutrons and/or protons$).$
The difference in mass between the products and reactants is manifested as the release of large amounts of energy.
A hydrogen bomb derives its energy from this type of nuclear reaction.
