Question : 13 of 26
 
Marks: +1, -0
(i) Obtain the expression for the cyclotron frequency.
(ii) A deuteron and a proton are accelerated by the cyclotron. Can both be accelerated with the same oscillator frequency? Give reason to justify your answer.
Solution:
(i) Derivation of the expression for cyclotron frequency
(ii) Reason / justification for the correct answer2
(i) Suppose the positive charge ion with charge q moves in a circle with a velocity v,then:
mv2r=qvB
r=mvqB
Frequency of revolution
f=1 Time Period =v2Ï€r
f=qB2≠m
(ii) No
The masses of the two particles, i.e. deuteron and proton, are different. Since (cyclotron) frequency depends inversely on the mass, they cannot be accelerated by the same oscillator frequency.
