Answer:

The correct answer is option B

B. In a sample of enriched uranium

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction whereby large nucleus of an atom is break down into smaller parts lighter nuclei or daughter nuclei and release large amount of energy, due to the large amount of energy there are alot of heat released.

During the process large nucleous is bombarded by the neutrons, as a result of this the nucleous becomes disintegrated because it's unstable and their is production of lighter nuclei as well as neutrons and energy.

When the U -235 particles are compacted together there result a high energy neutron which can bombard another Uranium - 235 molecule in the region. uranium is enriched with more of the fissile uranium isotope, then when it is enriched it can be used to make atomic reactors and explosives like bombs.

Is it possible to decrease resistance of the wire without changing the material it's made out of?
loris [4]
Yes, it is possible to decrease the resistance of a wire without changing the material it made out of. This is because, there are many factors which affect the resistance of a wire. These factors can be manipulated to change the resistance of the wire. The factors include: cross sectional area of the wire, length of the wire, temperature and the material of the wire. The other three factors can be manipulated to change the resistance of the wire without changing the material of the wire.

A certain shade of blue has a frequency of 7.02 × 1014 Hz. What is the energy of exactly one photon of this light?
ruslelena [56]
 <span>The energy (E) per photon is expressed by Planck's equation: E = hf, where f is 
the frequency and h is Planck's constant, experimentally determined to be 
6.625 * 10**-34 joule-seconds. So to find E, we multiply h by the frequency 
and obtain E = hf = (6.625 * 10**-34)(7.0 * 10**14) = 46.375 * 10**-20 joule 
or in standard notation, E = 4.6375 * 10**-19 joule per photon. 

Hope this answers your question.Sorry if I calculated wrong.</span>
