A proton and an  α - particle, having kinetic energies Kp  and  Kα respectively, enter into a magnetic field at right angles. The ratio of the radii of trajectory of proton to that of α - particle is 2 : 1. The ratio of Kp:Kα  is:

a
4 : 1
b
8 : 1
c
1 : 4
d
1 : 8

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Radius of a particle in the magnetic field is  r=mvBq=2mKEBqKE=P22mGiven :    rp;rα=2:1  then ⇒rprα=21=mpkpmαkα×qαqp=14kpkα×21⇒KpKα=41
