Question

what is albert einsteins contribution to the understanding of nucear energy?

Answer 1

Answer:

He proposed that matter can be converted to energy and vice versa. He first discovered that nuclear-reaction products are lighter than the reactants. He developed the use of nuclear reactions to generate electricity

Explanation:

hope that answers your question

Answer 2

Answer:

He was able to prove that matter and energy are inter-convertible, and mass may be used to measure the total energy present in an object.

Explanation:

He observed a mass defect in nuclear reaction products and the reactants. Thus, mass may be used to measure the total energy present in an object by the use of the equation;

                 E = m × $c^{2}$

Where: E is the energy, m is the mass and c is the constant speed of light.

He developed the use of nuclear reactions to generate heat energy, which has a great applications in atomic bombs.
