Vedclass · Answer

(D) Nuclear fission is a process where a heavy nucleus splits into smaller nuclei after being struck by a particle. This process typically requires particles with sufficient energy and mass to overcome the Coulomb barrier or induce instability in the nucleus. $1$. $\alpha$-particles,protons,and deuterons are charged particles that can interact with the nucleus through the strong nuclear force or by overcoming the electrostatic repulsion (Coulomb barrier) to induce fission. $2$. Laser rays consist of photons. While high-energy gamma rays (photons) can cause photofission,standard laser rays (visible or infrared light) lack the energy required to overcome the binding energy of a heavy nucleus to induce fission. Therefore,laser rays cannot cause fission in a heavy nucleus.
