प्रश्न
An α-particle and a proton are released from the centre of the cyclotron and made to accelerate.
(i) Can both be accelerated at the same cyclotron frequency?
Give reason to justify your answer.
(ii) When they are accelerated in turn, which of the two will have higher velocity at the exit slit of the does?

उत्तर
(i) Let us consider: Mass of proton = m, Charge of proton = q, Mass of alpha particle = 4m
Charge of alpha particle = 2q
Cyclotron frequency, `v =(Bq)/(2pim) => v∝q/m`
For proton : Frequency , `v_p∝q/m `
For alpha particle: Frequency ,`v_a ∝(2q)/(4m) or v_a∝q/(2m)`
Thus, particles will not accelerate with same cyclotron frequency. The frequency of proton is twice than the frequency of alpha particle.
(ii)
Velocity,`v =(Bqr)/m =>v∝q/m`
for proton:Velocity, `v_p∝q/m`
For alpha particle : Velocity ,`v_a ∝(2q)/(4m) or v_a∝q/(2m)`
Thus particles will not exit the dees with same velocity. The velocity of proton is twice than the velocity of alpha particle.
