An \( \alpha \) particle and a proton enters a region of uniform magnetic field B with same momentum at right angle to magnetic field. The ratio of the radii of the circular paths of \( \alpha \) particle to proton is:

  1. A 1 : 1
  2. B 1 : 2
  3. C 2 : 1
  4. D 1 ; 4
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1 : 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( r = \frac{p}{qB} \) \( \frac{r_\alpha}{r_p} = \frac{q_p}{q_\alpha} \) \( \frac{r_\alpha}{r_p} = \frac{e}{2e} = \frac{1}{2} \)
