Question

Match the nuclear processes given in column I with the appropriate option(s) in column II. Column I Column II A. Nuclear fusion P Absorption of thermal neutrons by U 92 235 B. Fission in a nuclear reactor Q C o 27 60 nucleus C. &#946; -decay R Energy production in stars via hydrogen conversion to helium D. &#947; -ray emission S Heavy water T Neutrino emission

Aicharya · Accepted Answer

Nuclear fusion : In stars energy is produced by hydrogen into helium.
Fission in a nuclear reactor : In nuclear reactor fission of

{}_{92}^{235}U

takes place by absorption of thermal neutrons. Heavy water is used as a moderator during this reaction.

{}_{27}^{60}{C o}

emits

β

particle to attain stable nucleus. It also emits

γ

radians.

γ

-rays are emitted by

{}_{27}^{60}{C o}

during fission of

{}_{92}^{235}U

, conversion of hydrogen to helium and during decay of

U^{235}

after absorption of neutron. :

Match the nuclear processes given in column I with the appropriate option(s) in column II. Column I Column…
