Answer :

Answer:

Wavelength is 0.359 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Magnetic field, B = 0.547 T

We need to find the wavelength of radiation produced by a proton in a cyclotron with a magnetic field of 0.547 T.

The frequency of revolution of proton in the cyclotron is given by :

[tex]f=\dfrac{qB}{2\pi m}[/tex]

m is mass of proton

q is charge on proton

So,

[tex]f=\dfrac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.547}{2\pi \times 1.67\times 10^{-27}}\\\\f=8.34\times 10^6\ Hz[/tex]

We know that,

Speed of light, [tex]c=f\lambda[/tex]

[tex]\lambda[/tex] = wavelength

[tex]\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{834\times 10^6}\\\\\lambda=0.359\ m[/tex]

So, the wavelength of the radiation produced by a proton is 0.359 m.
