Early Atomic Experiments
Joseph John Thomson conducted an experiment that is known today as the CRT Experiment. The outcome of this experiment was JJ’s discovery of the electron. CRT is an acronym for Cathode Ray Tube, this gives a broad concept of what the experiment is about. The basic components of the experiment include, a glass cylindrical tube with most of the air inside vacuumed out of it, and inside the tube is Electrode for each side. One of the Electrodes is negative and entitled the Cathode, while the other one is positive and entitled the Anode. For the experiment to work the two Electrodes would need to connect to the positive and negative parts of a high voltage power source, which is outside the tube. Once connected there will …show more content…
Fusion is the process of bringing together of small high energy nuclei and creating energy from their fusion. An example of Nuclear Fusion could be perhaps if a Deuterium and a Tritium collide together, it would create a Helium particle, a neutron and an large quantity of energy. Nuclear Fusion is very desirable because of its very nice benefits such as it would run better and cleaner. Nuclear Fission emits dangerous nuclear waste unlike Fusion which just releases Helium and a neutron. The big benefit is the self sustaining part, once the right amount of energy is maintained it will continue to produce energy which is very beneficial. Unfortunately this is quite difficult to achieve on earth because of the fact that it is hard to even initiate because of the large amount of energy required to keep it running also. Further research needs to be conducted to perhaps find a way to create a Nuclear Fusion …show more content…
This equation can be used to the physics of fission and fusion that are mention above. First of all the components of the equation are E which is Energy, M which is the mass, and C^2 which is the speed of light squared. The equation can be used for Nuclear Fission as you could find out the total amount of energy in joules that is inside the the reactor. Remember Fission bursts into two daughter cells and also creates energy, this is where the equation comes in and calculates it. In Nuclear Fusion energy is given off when two small high energy nuclei combine/collide, the equation could then be used here to work out the total energy in joules. Fossil fuel power and Nuclear power plants both give out an enormous amount of energy. But both of them have equal positives and negatives. Nuclear Reactors produce waste products that damage our natural environment. Fossil Fuels also damage our natural environment through air pollution. Fossil fuels are also on their path to extinction so this could mean that more people start relying on Nuclear Reactors
