The correct Answer is:
To find the de-Broglie wavelength associated with an alpha particle moving in a circular path in a magnetic field, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between forces In a magnetic field, the centripetal force acting on the alpha particle is provided by the magnetic force. Therefore, we can equate the centripetal force to the magnetic force: \[ F_{\text{centripetal}} = F_{\text{magnetic}} \] This can be expressed as: \[ \frac{m v^2}{r} = q v B \] Where: - \( m \) = mass of the alpha particle - \( v \) = velocity of the alpha particle - \( r \) = radius of the circular path - \( q \) = charge of the alpha particle - \( B \) = magnetic field strength ### Step 2: Solve for momentum Rearranging the equation gives: \[ m v = q v B r \] Dividing both sides by \( v \) (assuming \( v \neq 0 \)): \[ m = q B r \] The momentum \( p \) of the particle is given by: \[ p = m v = q B r v \] ### Step 3: Use the de-Broglie wavelength formula The de-Broglie wavelength \( \lambda \) is given by: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{p} \] Substituting the expression for momentum: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{q B r} \] ### Step 4: Substitute the known values Now, we will substitute the known values into the equation. The constants are: - Planck's constant \( h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Js} \) - Charge of an alpha particle \( q = 2 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C} \) - Magnetic field \( B = 0.25 \, \text{Wb/m}^2 \) - Radius \( r = 0.83 \, \text{cm} = 0.0083 \, \text{m} \) Substituting these values into the equation for wavelength: \[ \lambda = \frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34}}{(2 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}) \times 0.25 \times 0.0083} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the wavelength Calculating the denominator: \[ q = 2 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} = 3.2 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C} \] Now, substituting into the equation: \[ \lambda = \frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34}}{(3.2 \times 10^{-19}) \times 0.25 \times 0.0083} \] Calculating the denominator: \[ 3.2 \times 10^{-19} \times 0.25 \times 0.0083 = 6.64 \times 10^{-22} \] Now, substituting this back into the equation for \( \lambda \): \[ \lambda = \frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34}}{6.64 \times 10^{-22}} \approx 9.96 \times 10^{-13} \, \text{m} \] ### Step 6: Convert to Angstroms To convert meters to Angstroms (1 Angstrom = \( 10^{-10} \, \text{m} \)): \[ \lambda \approx 9.96 \times 10^{-13} \, \text{m} = 9.96 \times 10^{1} \, \text{Å} \approx 0.01 \, \text{Å} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the de-Broglie wavelength associated with the alpha particle is approximately: \[ \lambda \approx 0.01 \, \text{Å} \]

To find the de-Broglie wavelength associated with an alpha particle moving in a circular path in a magnetic field, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between forces In a magnetic field, the centripetal force acting on the alpha particle is provided by the magnetic force. Therefore, we can equate the centripetal force to the magnetic force: \[ F_{\text{centripetal}} = F_{\text{magnetic}} \] ...
