Edexcel IGCSE Physics Worksheet 30 - Fission and Fusion

(0)
Companion PDF worksheet for Edexcel IGCSE Physics Lecture 30 - Fission and Fusion. Contains short answer questions, an activity requiring lateral thinking and exam-style questions. Specification Point 7.17 - Know that nuclear reactions, including fission, fusion and radioactive decay, can be a source of energy. Specification Point 7.18 - Understand how a nucleus of U-235 can be split by collision with a neutron, and that this process releases energy as kinetic energy of the fission products.
