A proton, a deuteron and an α particle having same momentum enter a uniform magnetic field at right angles to the field. The ratio of their angular momentum with respect to their corresponding centres during their motion in the magnetic field is
2:2:1
We know that, L=Pr=P(mvqB)=P2qB
⇒L∝1q
Now, charge on a proton = +e
Charge on a deuteron = +e
Charge on an α particle = +2e
Hence, the ratio of their angular momentum will be 2:2:1.
