Statement 1: If a proton and an `alpha`-particle enter a uniform magnetic field perpendicularly with the same speed, the time period of revolution of `alpha`-particle is double than that of proton.
Statement 2: In a magnetic field, the period of revolution of a charged particle is directly proportional to the mass of the particle and inversely proprotional to the charge of particle.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the motion of a proton and an alpha particle in a uniform magnetic field. We will use the formula for the time period of a charged particle moving in a magnetic field. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Particles**: - A proton has a mass \( m \) and a charge \( q = +e \). - An alpha particle consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons, so its mass is \( M = 4m \) and its charge is \( Q = 2e \). 2. **Time Period Formula**: The time period \( T \) of a charged particle moving 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. 3. **Calculating Time Period for Proton**: For the proton: \[ T_p = \frac{2\pi m}{eB} \] 4. **Calculating Time Period for Alpha Particle**: For the alpha particle: \[ T_{\alpha} = \frac{2\pi (4m)}{2eB} = \frac{8\pi m}{2eB} = \frac{4\pi m}{eB} \] 5. **Comparing Time Periods**: Now we will compare the time periods: \[ \frac{T_p}{T_{\alpha}} = \frac{\frac{2\pi m}{eB}}{\frac{4\pi m}{eB}} = \frac{2\pi m}{eB} \cdot \frac{eB}{4\pi m} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2} \] This means: \[ T_{\alpha} = 2T_p \] Therefore, the time period of revolution of the alpha particle is indeed double that of the proton. 6. **Conclusion**: - Statement 1 is correct: The time period of revolution of the alpha particle is double that of the proton. - Statement 2 is also correct: The period of revolution of a charged particle is directly proportional to the mass and inversely proportional to the charge. ### Final Answer: Both statements are correct, and Statement 2 provides the correct explanation for Statement 1. ---
