There were varied opinions between the group for supporting Newton’s theory of light as a particle and Maxwell’s theory of light as a wave. With the development of Planck’s constant and Einstein’s theory of relativities it became profound that light, which is type of electr omagnetic wave, behaves both as a particle and as wave, and thus the theory of wave-particle duality came into existence. In mid-20 th century after the attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the theory and analysis of nuclear fission became profound. During this time the voids in the chain reaction for the tremendous amount of energy available were filled with the conclusion that a part of mass is getting converted into energy, according to E = mc 2 . In this paper we are making an attempt, through theoretical analysis, to conclude that electromagnetic radiation and thus its energy can only be produced by accelerating a charged particle and not by conversion of any type of mass, as is given the current nuclear fission and nuclear fusion reactions. 1. Introduction The discovery of Planck‟s constant and Einstein‟s acknowledgement for the same revolutionized the aspects of physics which mainly concerned with the properties of light and electromagnetic waves. Experimental validation by Millikan [1] confirmed the theory put forward by Einstein and thus led them to receive a Nobel Prize. These developments along with Einstein equation E = mc 2 proved helpful for Hahn and Strassman in analyzing the energy released during the fission process. The scientists, including Meitner and Frisch, Bohr and Wheeler, provided ways for understanding the nuclear fission process through various research papers [2, 3]. In this paper we have provided an overview of electro- magnetic waves, it‟s classification and production techniques in Section II, along with our analysis for the same. In Section III we have presented a brief description of nuclear fission, equations and processes affiliated to it. In this section an effort has been made to conclude our analysis for nuclear fission with reference to Section II and Section IV consists of theoretical analysis of nuclear fusion. 2. Electromagnetic Waves As proposed by James clerk Maxwell, electromagnetic waves are a type of transverse wave, also known as photons, which have a varying electric and magnetic field [4]. These fields are in-phase and perpendicular to each other and to the wave. These waves travel at the speed of light „c‟ in vacuum and their energy can be determined by their frequency and/or wavelength that are inversely proportional to each other. This energy is given by the equation E = hν = hc/λ (1) where, h is plank‟s constant, ν is the frequency of the electromagnetic wave λ is the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave.
