The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the statements regarding the time period of revolution of a proton and an alpha particle in a uniform magnetic field. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Motion in a Magnetic Field**: - When a charged particle moves in a magnetic field perpendicularly, it experiences a magnetic force that acts as a centripetal force, causing it to move in a circular path. - The time period \( T \) of revolution of a charged particle in a magnetic field is given by the formula: \[ T = \frac{2\pi m}{qB} \] where \( m \) is the mass of the particle, \( q \) is the charge of the particle, and \( B \) is the magnetic field strength. 2. **Identifying the Mass and Charge of the Particles**: - For a proton: - Mass \( m_p = m \) - Charge \( q_p = q \) - For an alpha particle (which consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons): - Mass \( m_{\alpha} = 4m \) (approximately four times the mass of a proton) - Charge \( q_{\alpha} = 2q \) (twice the charge of a proton) 3. **Calculating the Time Period for Each Particle**: - Time period for the proton: \[ T_p = \frac{2\pi m_p}{q_p B} = \frac{2\pi m}{qB} \] - Time period for the alpha particle: \[ T_{\alpha} = \frac{2\pi m_{\alpha}}{q_{\alpha} B} = \frac{2\pi (4m)}{(2q)B} = \frac{4\pi m}{2qB} = \frac{2\pi m}{qB} \cdot 2 = 2T_p \] 4. **Conclusion from the Calculations**: - From the calculations, we find that the time period of the alpha particle is indeed double that of the proton: \[ T_{\alpha} = 2T_p \] - Therefore, Statement 1 is true. 5. **Analyzing Statement 2**: - Statement 2 claims that the time period of revolution of a charged particle is directly proportional to its mass and inversely proportional to its charge. - This is consistent with the formula \( T = \frac{2\pi m}{qB} \), confirming that the time period increases with mass and decreases with charge. - Therefore, Statement 2 is also true. 6. **Final Conclusion**: - Both statements are true, and Statement 2 correctly explains Statement 1. Thus, the answer is that both statements are correct, and Statement 2 is the correct explanation for Statement 1.
