EDWARD TELLER and the H-bomb?

Question

okay so i'm doing a project on edward teller
i know he designed the teller-ulam device but i need to know ...
was that bomb actually dropped and was that the "H-bomb"
or the bomb dropped in Japan

if not, what is the difference between the two bombs?

Answer 1

The H bomb was tested but never used in anger
The Teller–Ulam design is a nuclear weapon design which is used in megaton-range thermonuclear weapons, and is more colloquially referred to as "the secret of the hydrogen bomb". The most powerful ever tested was the 50 to 58 megaton Soviet Tsar Bomba test[1][2]. It is named after two of its chief contributors, Hungarian born physicist Edward Teller and Polish born mathematician Stanisław Ulam, who developed the design in 1951. The idea is generally thought to pertain specifically to the use of a fission bomb "trigger" placed near an amount of fusion fuel, known as "staging", and the use of "radiation implosion" to compress the fusion fuel before igniting it. There are a number of other additions and variations to this idea posited by different sources.

The first device to be based on this principle was detonated by the United States in the "Ivy Mike" nuclear test in 1952. In the Soviet Union, this design was known as Andrei Sakharov's "Third Idea". Similar devices were developed by the United Kingdom, France and China though no specific codenames are known for their designs.

Answer 2

The bombs dropped in Japan were atomic bombs based on Uranium or Plutonium fissions. Hydrogen bombs are thermonuclear bombs using energy from fissions to cause fusion reaction. H-Bombs are much more powerful than atomic bombs.

Answer 3

It was two types of Atomic bombs, not Hydrogen bombs dropped on Japan. Atomic bombs used fission reactions, Hydrogen (or thermonuclear) bombs use fusion reactions.

Answer 4

The "H-bomb." The earlier bombs used fission recations, the later bomb used fusion, which is much more powerful.
