A deuteron and an alpha particle having equal kinetic energy enter perpendicular into a magnetic field. Let $r_{d}$ and $r_{\alpha}$ be their respective radii of circular path. The value of $\frac{r_{d}}{r_{\alpha}}$ is equal to

A

$\sqrt{2}$

B

$1$

C

$2$

D

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

(JEE MAIN-2021)

Solution

${I}=\frac{{m} v}{{qB}}=\frac{\sqrt{2 {mk}}}{{qB}}$

$\frac{{r}_{{d}}}{{r}_{\alpha}}=\sqrt{\frac{{m}_{{d}}}{{m}_{\alpha}}} \frac{{q}_{a}}{{q}_{\hat{\imath}}}=\sqrt{\frac{2}{4}}\left(\frac{2}{1}\right)=\sqrt{2}$
