Consider an electron undergoing cyclotron motion in a magnetic field. According to Bohr, the electrons angular momentum
Question:
Consider an electron undergoing cyclotron motion in a magnetic field. According to Bohr, the electron’s angular momentum must be quantized in units of ℏ.
a. Show that allowed radii for the electron’s orbit are given by rn = (nℏ/eB)1/2, where n = 1, 2, 3, ….
b. Compute the first four allowed radii in a 1.0 T magnetic field.
c. Find an expression for the allowed energy levels En in terms of ℏ and the cyclotron frequency fcyc.
