In early August 1945 atomic bombs were dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These two bombs quickly yielded the surrender of Japan and the end of American involvement in World War II. By 1946 the two bombs caused the death of perhaps as many as 240‚000 Japanese citizens1. The popular‚ or traditional‚ view that dominated the 1950s and 60s put forth by President Harry Truman and Secretary of War Henry Stimson was that the dropping of the bomb was a diplomatic maneuver aimed

Everybody knows about the atomic bomb‚ but not everybody is aware of the story behind it. The atomic bomb is arguably one of the most iconic turning points in history.

Bomb Calorimeter What is a Bomb Calorimeter? In calorimetry‚ a bomb calorimeter is a piece of equipment used to measure the heat fluctuation of a reaction’s system‚ the changes in physical properties and the thermal capacity. How does a Bomb Calorimeter works? A calorimeter is basically used for measuring the heat of fuels as it burns at a specific temperature in order to obtain the heat energy values. The samples of fuel used can either be solid or liquid but not gas. The calorimeters is estimated

July 16th‚ 1945‚ a test bomb was successfully detonated at a test bomb site in Alamogordo‚ New Mexico. Months later‚ on August 6th‚ 1945‚ the first ever atomic bomb was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. On August 9th‚ 1945‚ a second atomic bomb was dropped on the Japanese city of Nagasaki.

Atomic bombs were the first nuclear weapons to be developed‚ tested‚ and used. In the late 1930s physicists in Europe and the United States realized that the fission of uranium could be used to create an extremely powerful explosive weapon. In August 1939‚ German American physicist Albert Einstein sent a letter to U.S. president Franklin D. Roosevelt that described this discovery and warned of its potential development by other nations. The U.S. government established the top secret Manhattan Project

The Atomic Bomb The atomic bomb is a powerful‚ explosive nuclear weapon. It is fueled by the fission of the nuclei of specific amounts of plutonium or uranium‚ in a chain reaction. The strength of the explosion created by one of these bombs is equal to the strength of an explosion created by thousands of tons of TNT. The atomic bomb was first created in the early twentieth century. Physicists in the United States and Europe had discovered that the fission of uranium could be used to create
