Question

Mention an example where the energy has been converted into matter.

Answer 1

Hint: The fission of two nuclei is having higher mass than iron or nickel commonly absorbing the energy and therefore it will convert energy to mass. When the fission of nuclei lighter than iron or nickel will release energy. In the nuclear fusion, the reverse will be obtained. This will help you in answering this question.

Complete answer:
Nuclear fission is a process of the subdivision of the heavy atomic nucleus, like uranium or plutonium, into particles of roughly identical mass. The process has been developed by the release of a large quantity of energy. In this process of nuclear fission the nucleus of an atom is divided up into two lighter nuclei. The process will be taking place at the same time in some situations or can be induced by the excitation of the nucleus with a variety of materials. For example the particles like neutrons, protons, deuterons, or alpha particles or with electromagnetic radiation in the form of gamma rays. In the fission process, a large amount of energy is released and the radioactive products are developed, and so many neutrons are ejected. These neutrons will be the reason for the fission in a nearby nucleus of fissionable material and release more neutrons that will make the fission to continue, resulting in a chain reaction in which a huge number of nuclei is undergoing process of fission and a large amount of energy is released. This is an example for the conversion of the energy into matter.

Note:
When controlled in a nuclear reactor, a chain reaction can develop power for the benefit of society. When uncontrolled they are used as atomic bombs, it will result in an explosion of a high destructive force.
