A charged particle is moving in a cyclotron, what effect on the radius of path of this charged particle will occur when the frequency of the radio frequency field is doubled?
A
It will also be doubled
B
It will be halved
C
It will be increased four times
D
It will remain unchanged.
Answer
It will remain unchanged.
Explanation

As frequency of revolution in a cyclotron
is independent of r.
So the radius of path in the dees will remain unchanged
When the frequency is changed.
