In a certain cyclotron a proton moves in a circle of radius 0.500 m. The magnitude of the magnetic field is 1.20T.

(a)What is the oscillator frequency?

(b)What is the kinetic energy of the proton, in electron-volts?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The oscillator frequency is 1.83 x 107 Hz.
  2. The kinetic energy of the proton is 1.72 x 107 Hz.

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities

  • The radius of a circular orbit, r = 0.500m
  • Magnetic field, B = 1.20 T
  • Charge of the proton, q=1.60×10-19C
  • Mass of proton,mp=1.67×10-27kg

Understanding the concept of the frequency of the oscillator, kinetic energy

We can find the frequency of the oscillator by using the value of the magnetic field. We can find the kinetic energy by using the formula for the radius of the circle in which the proton moves and the kinetic energy of the proton by substituting the given values.

Formula:

Oscillator frequency, fosc=qB2Ï€³¾p

The radius of the circle in which the proton moves, r=mvqB

The kinetic energy of the proton,K=12mpV2

(a) Calculation of the oscillating frequency

The oscillating frequency is given by:

fosc=qB2Ï€³¾p=1.60×10-191.202Ï€1.67×10-27=1.83×107Hz

The oscillator frequency is 1.83×107Hz.

04

(b) Calculation of the kinetic energy

The radius oftheorbit in whichtheproton moves in a circular orbit is:

r=mpvqB

And the kinetic energy of the proton is:

K=12mpv2

Rearranging the equation for v :

v=2Kmp

The radius becomes,

r=mp2KmpqBr=2mpKqB

We can rearrange this equation to get kinetic energy as:

K=rqB22mp=0.5001.60×10-191.20221.67×10-271.60×10-19=1.72×107eV

The kinetic energy of the proton is 1.72×107eV.
