D

If statement 1 is false, statement 2 is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
Cyclotron is suitable for accelerating heavy charged particle such as protons, `alpha`-particle and positive ions. In a cyclotron, the positive ions cross again and again the same alternating (ratio frequency) electric field and therby gain energy. It is achieved by making them to move along spiral circular paths under the action of a strong magnetic field. Cyclotron is also known as magnetic resonance accelerator. Cyclotron frequency is given by
`f=1/T=(Bq)/(2pim)`
It is Obvious that cyclotron frequency does not depend upon velocity of the charged particle.
