Cyclotrons are constructed as two “D” magnets with<br />

a gap in between through which a particle is<br />

accelerated further by a reversing electric potential<br />

(field).<br />

So as to visualize this structure, if the gap in a<br />

certain cyclotron has an electric potential difference<br />

of 10 MeV and the particle gains 200 MeV in the<br />

cyclotron, what is the frequency of the cyclotron?<br />

124<br />
