The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the frequency of an electron moving in a magnetic field when it enters perpendicularly. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Motion in a Magnetic Field:** When a charged particle, like an electron, enters a magnetic field perpendicularly, it experiences a magnetic force that causes it to move in a circular path. The magnetic force acts as the centripetal force required for circular motion. 2. **Magnetic Force and Centripetal Force:** The magnetic force \( F \) on the electron is given by: \[ F = q v B \] where \( q \) is the charge of the electron, \( v \) is its velocity, and \( B \) is the magnetic field strength. The centripetal force required to keep the electron in circular motion is given by: \[ F = \frac{m v^2}{r} \] where \( m \) is the mass of the electron and \( r \) is the radius of the circular path. 3. **Equating the Forces:** Setting the magnetic force equal to the centripetal force gives: \[ q v B = \frac{m v^2}{r} \] 4. **Finding the Radius of Circular Path:** Rearranging the equation to solve for the radius \( r \): \[ r = \frac{m v}{q B} \] 5. **Relating Velocity to Kinetic Energy:** The kinetic energy \( E \) of the electron is given by: \[ E = \frac{1}{2} m v^2 \] From this, we can express \( v \) in terms of \( E \): \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{2E}{m}} \] 6. **Substituting Velocity into Radius:** Substitute \( v \) back into the equation for \( r \): \[ r = \frac{m \sqrt{\frac{2E}{m}}}{q B} = \frac{\sqrt{2Em}}{q B} \] 7. **Finding the Time Period of Revolution:** The time period \( T \) of the electron's revolution is given by: \[ T = \frac{2 \pi r}{v} \] Substituting for \( r \) and \( v \): \[ T = \frac{2 \pi \left(\frac{\sqrt{2Em}}{q B}\right)}{\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m}}} \] Simplifying this gives: \[ T = \frac{2 \pi m}{q B} \] 8. **Finding the Frequency:** The frequency \( f \) is the reciprocal of the time period: \[ f = \frac{1}{T} = \frac{q B}{2 \pi m} \] 9. **Substituting Charge of Electron:** For an electron, the charge \( q \) is \( e \): \[ f = \frac{e B}{2 \pi m} \] ### Final Answer: The frequency of the electron moving in the magnetic field is: \[ f = \frac{e B}{2 \pi m} \]
