An α-particle (mass 4 amu) and a singly charged Sulphur ion (mass 32 amu) are initially at rest. They are accelerated through a potential V and then allowed to pass into a region of uniform magnetic field which is normal to the velocities of the particles. Within this region, the α-particle and the sulphur ion move in circular orbits of radii Rα and RS, respectively. The ratio RSRα is __________ .

  1. A 2
  2. B 4
  3. C 6
  4. D 8
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation
