MHT CET Physics question

In a cyclotron, the charged particle cannot be accelerated to energies of the order of billion electron volt because if the speed of the particle is increased

(A)The frequency of revolution is increased
(B)The frequency of revolution is decreasedCorrect
(C)The frequency of a.c. Source is decreased
(D)The frequency of a.c. Source is increased

Answer: (B)

Solution

At speeds near that of light the mass increases, so the revolution frequency decreases and the particle falls out of resonance with the
