The hydrogen bomb and the uranium bomb are based, respectively on
General KnowledgePhysics
- Anuclear fusion and fission
- Bfission and thermonuclear fusion
- Cgeothermal fusion and fission
- Dgeothermal fusion and fission
Explanation
The hydrogen (thermonuclear) bomb derives its energy from nuclear fusion — isotopes of hydrogen (deuterium/tritium) fusing into helium, triggered by a fission primary. The uranium (atomic) bomb is based on nuclear fission — splitting heavy U-235 nuclei. Hence fusion and fission respectively.
