Explain with the help of a labelled diagram, the principle and construction of a cyclotron. Deduce an expression for the cyclotron frequency and show that it does not depend on the speed of the charged particle. |
| Answer» Solution :CONSTRUCTION of a cyclotron : As shown in labelled diagram `D_1 and D_2` are two semi-circular DISC like METAL containers called dees. The straight sections of the dees are open so that the ions can move freely from `D_1 ` to `D_2` and vice-versa. The whole assembly is evacuated to avoid collisions between the ions and the air molecules. A HIGH FREQUENCY oscillating electric field (shown by dot marks in figure) by using an electromagnet. | |
