In the opinion of general public atom is the other name of destruction and they are somehow true in their thoughts. The word atom is a Greek word.It was Albert Einsten who began to work on the theory of producing energy from atom.
- First he showed that matter and energy are different forms of the same thing.In other words ,matter can be converted into energy and vice versa.
- Second a small amount of matter produces a gret amount of energy.
The discovery of atomic energy proved to be an accelerator for the modern science. Every thing has some advantages and it also has some disadvantages .In the beginning scientists used atomic energy for making atom bombs,hydrogen , cobalt bombs and other destructive things.These things are very dangerous. It was in 1945 ,that a single atom bomb destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It killed thousand of people and it is still affecting life of it’s residents. All the big powers of world have equipped them with these bombs and weapons.All the world know it’s harmful effects.
But it was one side of a coin .After such a large destruction the world discovered it’s advantages. Now all the developed countries are using atomic energy for the welfare of mankind.
- USA has started atomic energy to run submarines and space rockets
- Electricity is also produced by atomic energy.
- Atomic reactors are used for boiling water.
- Atomic energy has vast application in field of medicine.
- They are used for the treatment of cancer.
- They are used as tracers in medicine to diagnose different diseases.
In this way the atomic energy is alleviating human sufferings.
Atomic energy is also helpful for agricultural purposes .Crops can be ripened in very short time .The yield of crop can also be multiplied.
So we can say that atomic energy is mot bad but what matters is how it is used.We need to take full advantage from the atomic energy.
