Question

In the nuclear reaction, there is a conservation of :

• A. momentum
• B. mass
• C. energy
• D. all of these

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

A nuclear reaction is induced by the bombardment of nuclei with a particle beam. The schematics of such a reaction are
$a+X⟶b+Y$
where $X$ and $Y$ are nuclei, ' $a$ ' is the incoming particle and ' $b$ ' is an outgoing particle. Such reactions are also written sometimes as $X(a,b)\to Y$
Nuclear reactions are governed by conservation laws energy, momentum,
