The time for one complete revolution for a very high-energy proton in the 1.0-km-radius Fermilab accelerator?
Answer to Problem 4P
Solution:
The time ()for one complete revolution is .
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
The radius of the accelerator is 1.0-km.
Formula used:
The time for one complete revolution is called Period , and can be defined as:
Where:
• radius of circumference
• speed of proton. In this case, proton has moving with a very high energy, therefore, the speed can be taken as:
Calculation:
Replacing given data into equation (2)we get:
Solving (3)we obtain:
