The Atom Bomb

yThe Full History

of The Atom Bomb yand How It Affected WWII

History..
y In 1905 Albert Einstein developed the theories

of the relationship of mass and energy. Next from 1913 to 1938 the radiation detector is invented. This was used by American physicians to diagnose heart disease. Afterwards a demonstration was made on the ideas of nuclear fission. y Finally in july of 1945 united States Tested the first atomic device in a closed military area in New Mexico this was the invention of the atom bomb.

Key Players
y Ernest

Rutherford: Was one of the first people to show the true power of radiation by disintegrating nitrogen into hydrogen using radiation. He also established the nuclear theory of the atom.

Key Players Continued

y Albert Einstein:

He established the idea of the first nuclear weapon, but after the war he rallied against the use and testing of nuclear weapons as did other scientists who helped design the atom bomb.

BASIC PRINCIPLE OF ATOM BOMB

y The splitting of atomic nuclei releases

enormous energy. When a single free neutron strikes the nucleus of an atom of fissile (radioactive) material like uranium 235 or plutonium 239, it usually knocks two or three more neutrons free. Energy is released when those neutrons split off from the nucleus, and the newly released neutrons strike other uranium 235 (or plutonium 239) nuclei, splitting them in the same way, releasing more energy and more neutrons. This chain reaction spreads almost instantaneously. The atomic bomb (Abomb) was a weapon of destruction that used the power released by the splitting of atomic nuclei.

Nuclear Fission
Nuclear Fission is the process of elements being broken up by neutrons into smaller elements. In this picture the element uranium is added with a neutron which increases its atomic mass. The element then splits, forming two new elements( Baron an Krypton) .

How it works
An atom bomb works by starting a nuclear chain reaction on impact. The explosion releases a large number of energy that is easily a billion times the amount of a regular stick of dynamite. The reason the atom bomb is so destructive is because of the nuclear reaction that occurs in the bomb. The mass destruction that follows the explosion of the bomb

Damaging Effects of the Atom Bomb

Thermal Heat. Intense thermal heat emitted by the fireball
caused severe burns and loss of eyesight. Thermal burns of bare skin occurred as far as 3.5 kilometers from ground zero (directly below the burst point). Most people exposed to thermal rays within 1kilometer radius of ground zero died. Tile and glass melted; all combustible materials were consumed.

People exposure within 500 meters of ground zero was fatal. People exposed at distances of 3 to 5 kilometers later showed symptoms of aftereffects, including radiation-induced cancers

This picture shows the damage and injuries that were suffered by many as a result of the atomic bombs. The energy that was released from the bomb caused severe burns and scarring.

Memories
y Einstein felt very guilty for what he caused after he

saw the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. y He even said I made one of the worst mistakes in my life when I signed the letter to President Roosevelt recommending that atom bombs be made, but there was some justification-the danger that the Germans would make them.
