traditional gaiety. Children especially enjoy them a great deal. The family usually prepares for the festival well in advance. Clothes are bought‚ the house is cleaned and white washed. Everything begins to glitter and gleam. My favourite festival is Diwali. It usually falls on the eve of winter. This is a festival of lights and sound. New clothes are bought for every member of the family and on the day of the festival the family prays together. Laxmi Pooja is performed. Shop-keepers perform pooja in

Gr7 Science: Applications of the Atom Can The Demonstrated Vast Destructive Power of Nuclear Bombs Continue To Act As A Deterrent To World War III? In early August 1945 an American B-‐29 bomber‚ along with two other planes‚ dropped Little Boy onto the Japanese City of Hiroshima. Then

There are even nuclear experts who were involved in the design process of some of the early nuclear bombs‚ that predict the chances of a nuclear bomb going off are critical and imminent (1). Contrary to this‚ after close reading of the book “Physics for future Presidents: The Science behind the Headlines”‚ by Richard A. Muller‚ I think that we are in the clear and have little

The Atomic Bomb The research for the first Atomic bomb took place in the United States‚ by a group of nuclear engineers; the name of this research was called‚ “The Manhattan Project”. On July 16‚ 1945‚ the detonation of the first atomic bomb was tested near Los Alamos‚ New Mexico. As the atomic bomb was detonated‚ it sent shock-waves across the globe‚ which demonstrated that nuclear power would forever change the meaning of war. To create a nuclear bomb‚ nuclear fission must occur. The process

Energy‚ they include radiation‚ Nuclear Warfare‚ and Nuclear Power. In this essay I will be covering all three. But to understand Nuclear Energy we must first understand atoms how work and how they were discovered. Our journey begins in Ancient Greece during 400 B.C where philosopher Democritus developed the first ever ideas of the atom. He asked what happens if you break a piece of matter in half and then break it in half again‚ how many breaks will you have to make before you cannot break it any further

Nuclear World If a nuclear bomb was dropped on your city‚ how would you survive? The blast from the fission bomb on Hiroshima‚ which weighed 30 kilotons‚ was equivalent to 12‚500 tons of TNT. Now‚ if this was dropped right outside your house‚ there would be no way of survival. But‚ one megaton hydrogen bomb is said to have 80 times the explosive intensity of the fission bomb detonated in 1945. The destructive force of the hydrogen bomb is near unimaginable. But first‚ let’s take a

THE NEGATIVE PHYSICAL EFFECTS OF NUCLEAR RADIATION Page 1 Abstract Nuclear radiation has been a major problem since 1941 when the Second World War began. A major contribution to World War Two is the nuclear bomb‚ also known as the Atom bomb. Once the two bombs were dropped‚ the usually terminal Leukemia was derived throughout Japan. There are three types of radiation‚ Alpha‚ Beta‚ and Gamma radiation. In my study of radiation I discovered that radiation can damage many cells in your body

The A-Bomb‚ one of the most deadly bombs in history‚ was being researched by Hitler. He would have beaten America to it if it weren’t for Einstein’s letter to President Roosevelt. Although Einstein later regretted sending the letter‚ It prioritized the production of the bomb using a famous scientist’s reputation‚ increased interest in a bomb and started work on the bomb. If he had not sent the letter‚ America may have not built the bomb in time to stop Japan‚ possibly not at all. At the

On December 11 Germany and Italy declare war on the United States‚ with the U.S. following right behind to declare war on them. Roosevelt finally authorizes the nuclear bomb project on January 19‚ about a month after the attack on Pearl Harbor. This in essence puts the Manhattan Project on a fast track to completion as the U.S. Prepares for warfare on the European and Asian fronts. Now that the project is sponsored by
