A

1 Me V

B

4 Me V

C

0.5 MeV

D

1.5 MeV

Solution

Verified by Toppr

Correct option is A)

The radius of circular path is $r = \frac{2 m E}{q B}$
So, $\frac{r _{α}}{r _{p}} = \frac{m _{α} E _{α}}{m _{p} E _{p}} \frac{q _{p}}{q _{α}}$

or, $1 = \frac{E _{α}}{E _{p}}$ as radius of both particles are equal and the mass of alpha particle is 4 times of proton and charge is 2 times of proton.
Thus, $E_{α} = E_{p} = 1$ MeV
