Two particles X and Y having equal charges, after being accelerated through the same potential difference, enter a region of uniform magnetic field and describe circular path of radius and respectively. The ratio of mass of X to that of Y is ___________.
Explanation
Correct option is C.
Concept used:
Step 1: Given data:
Step 2: Formula used:
Step 3: Calculating the ratio of mass of X and Y:
Given that particles are accelerated through same potential difference, therefore they have same potential energy (P. E) and kinetic energy (K. E).
Equation 1 can be written as
From the above relation mass of the particle and radii are related as
Hence option C is correct.
