The energy that is derived from the use of radioactive isotopes is termed as _________.
-
A.
solar energy
-
B.
thermal energy
-
C.
geothermal energy
-
D.
nuclear energy
Correct Answer:
D. nuclear energy
Explanation:
Nuclear energy is the form of power generated through the use of radioactive isotopes. This process occurs during nuclear reactions, such as fission or fusion, where the nucleus of an atom is altered to release a significant amount of energy. While solar, thermal, and geothermal energy relate to the sun, heat, and the earth's internal temperature respectively, only nuclear energy is specifically derived from radioactive atomic processes. Therefore, option D is the correct choice.
