MCQ
Fusion reaction is also known as ..........:
  • A
    Chemical reaction
  • B
    Elastic reaction
  • C
    Thermonuclear reaction
  • D
    Photonuclear reaction

Answer

  1. Thermonuclear reaction

Explanation:

In nuclear physics,nuclear fusion is a nuclear reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei collide at very high speed and join to form a new type of atomic nucleus. During this process matter is not conserved because some of the matter of fusing nuclei is converted to photons also known as thermonuclear reaction.
