Suppose That You Fission a Sulfur Nucleus, ³² S, into Two

Multiple Choice

Suppose that you fission a sulfur nucleus, ³² S, into two fragments. Referring to the graph above, does this process convert nuclear energy to other forms, or is it vice versa?

A) Nuclear energy to other forms, because this process proceeds downward, from higher to lower energy on the curve.
B) Other forms to nuclear energy, because this process proceeds upward, from lower to higher energy on the curve.
C) Other forms to nuclear energy, because this process proceeds downward, from higher to lower energy on the curve.
D) Nuclear energy to other forms, because this process proceeds upward, from lower to higher energy on the curve.
E) This is definitely the wrong answer; go back and start over.
