← ScienceWhich outcome regarding energy occurs within supernovae during core collapse?
A)Neutrino trapping causes equation deceleration✓
B)Runaway fusion causes iron formation
C)Pair production dampens nuclear reactions
D)Photodisintegration elevates core binding energy
💡 Explanation
Neutrino trapping increases the outward pressure, opposing the inward gravitational force during supernovae because the mean free path decreases, therefore energy is transferred slower, creating hydrostatic equilibrum rather than immediate implosion.
