Question
Consider a proton, a deuteron (nucleus of deuterium, i.e.,Hydrogen-2), and an alpha particle (nucleus of Helium-4), all withthe same speed. These particles enter a region of uniform magneticfield B, traveling perpendicular toB.What is the ratio of the deuteron's orbital radius tothe proton's orbital radius?
a)1/2
b)
c)1
d)
e)2
What is the ratio of the alpha particle's orbitalradius to the proton's orbital radius?
a)1/2
b)
c)1
d)
e)2
For the next two questions, consider thesituation in which all three particles have the same kineticenergy.
