    50343 Why do astronomers infer that the Sun's energy comes from nuclear fusion reactions... C. Why do astronomers infer that the Sun's energy comes from nuclear fusion reactions? How do we know it does not come from chemical burning? d.

  • Nuclear Fusion Statements

    If the fusion releases the energy, for the same reaction in reverse direction for fission equal energy will be absorbed for conservation of mass-energy. 3. False.

  • Nuclear fusion vs fission

    . ====================== Where do on-going fusion reactions occur? Response: The fusion of light nuclei and the accompanying release of energy is the process that makes stars shine.

  • Energy is liberated in both nuclear fusion and fission.

    These reactions seem to be opposite to each other and yet both release large amounts of energy. Explain why this is not a contradiction. The fission and fusion both works on the principle of mass energy equivalence.

  • The difference between fusion and fission processes.

    22302 Nuclear fusion and fission Nuclear fusion offers the promise of unlimited energy to mankind. How is fusion different from fission? Where do on-going fusion reactions occur? Is the development of fusion as an energy source worth the risk?

  • Three Stellar Astronomy Questions Answered

    Since the difference in energy levels is equal (and opposite), the corresponding wavelengths are the same. 2. Hydrogen and helium fusion involve different energies and therefore occur at different temperatures.
