The net hydrogen fusion reaction in the Sun is 4 ¹H $\rightarrow$ 1 ⁴He + neutrinos + energy. What forms does this energy take?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The energy produced in the Sun's hydrogen fusion process primarily manifests as kinetic energy of the newly formed helium nucleus, any remaining protons, and gamma-ray photons. These gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, which is a significant component of the energy output from the fusion process. Chemical energy and gravitational energy as described in the options are not direct products of the fusion reaction.
