An α -particle moves in a circular path of radius 1 cm in a uniform magnetic field of 0.125 T. The de Broglie wavelength associated with the α -particle is
  1. 1.65×10-12 m
  2. 3.3×10-12 m
  3. 4.95×10-12 m
  4. 6.6×10-12 m

Solution

The expression for the circular path in a uniform magnetic
fields is,

R=mvqB

mv=qRB

We know that de-Broglie wavelength of a charged particle is given by,

λ=hmv

Substitute the expression in the above equation.

λ=hRqαB
λ=h(+2e)BR
λ=6.6×10-342×1.6×10-19×0.125×1×10-2=1.65×10-12 m
