Detailed Solution

Since the proton is entering the magnetic field at some angle other than 90o, its path is helix.

Question Image

Corresponding velocity of the proton along X-axis,

vx=vcos60°=2×106×12=106 ms-1

Due to velocity component vx, the radius of the helix is described and is given by the relation

r=mvxqB=1.6×10-27×1061.6×10-19×0.10=0.1 m

 Now, T=2πrvx=2π×0.1106=2π×10-7 s
