A proton is accelerating on a cyclotron having oscillating frequency of 11MHz in external magnetic field of 1 T. If the radius of its dees is 55 cm, then its kinetic energy (in Me V) is
A
13.36
B
12.52
C
14.89
D
14.19
Answer
14.19
Explanation
Solution
Here, vc=11MHz=11×106 Hz
∴ K.E. =2 mq2 B2R2=2×1.67×10−27(1.6×10−19)×(1)2×(55×10−2)2 =23.19×10−13 J
=1.6×10−1923.19×10−13=14.49×106eV=14.49MeV
