(a) Calculate the energy released in MeV in this reaction from the data :
(b) Consider the radius of both deuterium and tritium to be approximately 1-5 fin.
What is the kinetic energy needed to overcome the Coulomb repulsion ? To what temperature must the gases be heated to initiate the reaction ?
Answer:
From the equation given in the question,
refer to nuclear mass of the element given in the brackets and m^ = mass of neutron. If m represents the atomic mass, then
(b) Repulsive potential energy is to be provided to the particles in doing so.
K.E. needed
= Repulsive potential energy
[distance between particle = 2r]
