The radiant energy from a red giant star is produced by:

The nucleus $_{92}U^{234}$ splits exactly in half in a fission reaction in which two neutrons are released. The resultant nuclei are

One of the fusion reactions in the sun is given by ${ }_{1}^{2} H+{ }_{1}^{1} H \rightarrow{ }_{2}^{3} He+\gamma+Q$. Calculate the energy $Q$ released in the reaction. (in $MeV$)

$A$ $\gamma$-ray photon creates an electron-positron pair. If the rest mass energy of an electron is $0.51 \, MeV$ and the total kinetic energy of the electron-positron pair is $0.78 \, MeV$,then the energy of the $\gamma$-ray photon in $MeV$ is:

Each nuclear fission of ${}^{235}U$ releases $200 \text{ MeV}$ of energy. If a reactor generates $1 \text{ MW}$ power,then the rate of fission in the reactor is:

Calculate and compare the energy released by
$(a)$ fusion of $1.0 \; kg$ of hydrogen deep within the Sun and
$(b)$ the fission of $1.0 \; kg$ of $^{235} U$ in a fission reactor.
