What were the bombs used in WWII? What form of energy did they use and what is another use of this energy?

a) The bombs used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during the Second World War were atomic bombs (also known as nuclear bombs). These bombs derive their destructive power from nuclear fission.

b) The form of energy used in the bomb is nuclear energy. Besides its use in treating cancerous growths (as mentioned in the text), another significant use of nuclear energy is:

• Electricity generation in nuclear power plants. This process uses controlled nuclear fission to produce heat, which then generates steam to drive turbines and produce electricity.
