At least 2 to up to 5 answers may be correct. 1. Fusion and fission processes can often be viewed as the “reverse” process with respect to each other. Examples are: a. light frequency transformation. b. beta - decay is the inverse process of a proton flipping into a neutron during hydrogen fusion c. helium-capture reactions that form heavy elements inside massive stars are the reverse of α-decay. d. fission of a very heavy element into two lighter elements is the inverse of fusion of two medium-mass elements into heavy elements. e. conservation of photon charg
What is Albert Einstein's contribution to the understanding of nuclear energy? O He proposed that matter can be converted to energy and vice versa. He first discovered that nuclear-reaction products are lighter than the reactants. He developed the use of nuclear reactions to generate electricity.
