The correct Answer is:
To determine what cyclotron frequency does not depend upon, we can analyze the formula for cyclotron frequency. The cyclotron frequency \( f \) is given by: \[ f = \frac{qB}{2\pi m} \] where: - \( f \) is the cyclotron frequency, - \( q \) is the charge of the particle, - \( B \) is the magnetic field strength, - \( m \) is the mass of the particle. From the formula, we can see that the cyclotron frequency depends on the charge \( q \), the magnetic field strength \( B \), and the mass \( m \) of the particle. Now, let’s analyze what it does not depend on: 1. **Radius (r)**: The formula does not include the radius of the circular path. Therefore, the cyclotron frequency does not depend on the radius of the path taken by the charged particle. 2. **Velocity (v)**: The formula also does not include the velocity of the particle. Hence, the cyclotron frequency does not depend on the velocity of the particle. 3. **Magnetic Induction (B)**: The frequency is directly proportional to the magnetic field \( B \), so it does depend on this quantity. Thus, the correct answer to the question is that the cyclotron frequency does not depend on the radius and the velocity of the particle. ### Final Answer: Cyclotron frequency does not depend upon: - Radius of the circular path - Velocity of the charged particle
