Suppose a cyclotron is operated at an oscillator frequency of 12 MHz (Mega-Hertz) and has a radius of R=53 cm. A deuteron is the nucleus of deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen, consisting of a proton and a neutron, and therefore having the same charge as a proton is to be accelerated in the cyclotron. Its mass, m=3.24 x10-27 kg. What is the resulting kinetic energy of the deuteron?
