What did lise meitner and Otto Frisch believe happens to nuclei that Otto hahn and fritz strassman bombarded with neutrons?
2 answers:
<u>Answer:</u>
Otto Hann and Fritz Strassman was chemist. Following Enrico Fermi work, they begin to bombard uranium and also other element with the neutrons and find out series of decay products.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- Chemical analysis was done by Hann and Lise Meitner explained the physics. After Lise Meitner was forced to flee from Nazis, Hann and Strassman continue bombarding; they found isotopes of barium among the decay products but couldn’t explain it.
- Following the Hann’s paper, Meitner and her nephew discovered that the split of neutrons was because of high electric repulsive energy which when put to Einstein formula
work out and this lead to discovery of fission reaction.
