Really appreciated this concise video and its sister on fission. Question: how do we know for certain that fusion occurs in stars? Is this fact or theoretical?

@hammadkhan-qy2bc 3 жыл бұрын

Well sun is a star and is the hottest thing we know. So the temperature required will be acquired and the fusion process can take place. Well that's what I understood 🙂

@farazkermani9768 3 жыл бұрын

But that still appears to be theoretical, not factual.

@abd_mat8869 3 жыл бұрын

Well stars are composed of helium and hydrogen... The two elements that are a sort of fuel for the fusion in stars to start. In fact for a gas giant planet to become a star, there must be fusion reactions in its core and the planet must acquire the prerequisites for fusion reactions(mass, temperature, pressure etc..) How do they know that fusion is the main source? They analyzed the spectrum, temperatures and the wavesn etc. coming from the sun..also iam pretty sure there is no other reaction tht produces more energy than in fusion

We have created fusion here on earth, but the total amount of energy in is greater than the energy we can get out so it's not useful as an energy source.

@vintxge_taetae 8 ай бұрын

Hey.. can anyone explain pls. At one point in the video it’s said that two LIGHTER nuclei fuse to form one HEAVER nucleus, but at the same time they say that the mass of both the smaller nuclei is GREATER than the one large nucleus, as some mass is lost as energy. So... how does this make sense?

@andria2528 3 ай бұрын

Basically it says that the total mass of the two hydrogen nuclei of will be higher than that of the helium atom produced since some of the mass is converted into energy. So the product (helium) will be less massive than each of the reactants (hydrogens). Then it says that two light nuclei (e.g. of hydrogen) can make a heavier nucleus (e.g. of helium) as in the mass number of the product (helium) will be greater compared to each of the reactants (each of the lighter hydrogen nuclei). Hope this helps

at 2:19 u described nuclear fusion as light nuclei to heavy nuclei... did u mean small nuclei to large... as in nuclear fission 2 small nuclei produce a larger nuclei with a lighter mass?

@Cognitoedu 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, some mass is lost yes, but the 2 nuclei that fuse together are each lighter than the nuclei they form, so we can say 2 lighter nuclei fuse to make a heavier nucleus or 2 smaller nuclei fuse to make a larger nucleus, both are correct :)

@roshinipalanisankar6656 3 жыл бұрын

Kind of ....that small amount of mass that's lost is called the mass defect since theoretically the constituents should add up to give the exact final mass but that's not the case.

@roshinipalanisankar6656 3 жыл бұрын

Usually we say that nuclear reactions are an exception of the law of conservation of mass since the mass doesn't add up exactly to give final mass

You can disagree all you want. The emergence of any nuclear fusion in Europe will happen in 100 years. Africa has enough sunshine to power the entire continent two times over.
