The atomic bomb works through a process of nuclear fission where particles like alpha and beta particles are released along with the most dangerous gamma rays, as the bomb uses a sequence of nuclear reactions to trigger a huge explosion that also releases harmful radiations like ionizing gamma rays which can cause cancer.

1. The Science Behind
THE ATOMIC BOMB

2. HOW DOES AN ATOMIC BOMB WORK?
• The bomb uses a sequence of nuclear reactions which trigger a huge explosion
• This is known as nuclear fission
• This also releases harmful radiations
• The particles released are alpha and beta particles
• There also are gamma rays released which are the ones which are the most dangerous
and can cause cancer
• This is because they are a form of ionising radiation
