← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when high-energy photons interact with uranium-235?
A)Nuclear fission releases kinetic energy✓
B)Isotope enrichment increases neutron absorption
C)Beta decay generates antineutrinos
D)Gamma emission reduces binding energy
💡 Explanation
Nuclear fission occurs because the high-energy photons induce instability in the uranium nucleus causing it to split, therefore kinetic energy of the fragments is released, rather than the photons causing beta or gamma emission.
