Class 12th Physics 2017 Set1 Delhi Board Paper Solution

Question 13

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.

Answer

A cyclotron works only when the frequency of the revolution of particle is equal to the frequency of oscillation.

∴ Mass of proton and deutron are different (md = 2mp) and   ν ∝ 1 / m.

∴ The frequency of revolution of proton and deutron is different.Hence, they cann't be accelerated with the same oscillator frequency.
