Accelerating charges radiate electromagnetic waves. calculate the wavelength of radiation produced by a proton in a cyclotron with a magnetic field of 0.400 t.

B = magnetic field in the cyclotron = 0.400 T

q = magnitude of charge on a proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

m = mass of the proton = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

f = frequency of revolution of proton in the cyclotron = ?

v = speed of electromagnetic waves = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength of electromagnetic wave = ?

Frequency of revolution of proton in the cyclotron is given as

f = qB/(2πm)

inserting the values

f = (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹)(0.400)/(2 (3.14) (1.67 x 10⁻²⁷))

f = 6.1 x 10⁶ Hz

wavelength of electromagnetic wave is given as

λ = v/f

λ = (3 x 10⁸)/(6.1 x 10⁶)

λ = 49.2 m
