An early cyclotron at Cornell University was used from the 1930s to the 1950s to accelerate protons,
Question:
(a) What is the frequency of oscillation necessary for the alternating voltage difference between the dees?
(b) What is the kinetic energy of a proton by the time it reaches the outside of the dees? (c) What would be the equivalent voltage necessary to accelerate protons to this energy from rest in one step (say between parallel plates)?
(d) If the potential difference between the dees has a magnitude of 10.0 kV each time the protons cross the gap, what is the minimum number of revolutions each proton has to make in the cyclotron?
