Lecture 13, ACT 1
A cyclotron is used to accelerate protons and alpha particles (He nucleus = 2 protons + 2 neutrons).
- What is the relation between fp, the frequency of the applied voltage for protons, and fa , the frequency of the applied voltage for alphas?
- If protons are accelerated to a final energy E0 when the applied voltage is V0, to what final energy E1 would they be accelerated if the applied voltage were V1 = 1/2 V0?
