Answer

$f=1.8\times 10^7 Hz$

Work Step by Step

The centripetal force is produced by Magnetic force. So, $F_c=F_m$ $\frac{mv^2}{R}=qvB$ or $R=\frac{mv}{qB}$..................eq(1) We know that the angular frequency is given as ${\omega}=\frac{v}{R}$ Substituting the value of 'R' from eq(1), we obtain: $\omega=\frac{v}{\frac{mv}{qB}}$ or $\omega=\frac{qB}{m}$.......................eq(2) But we also know that $\omega=2\pi f$ or $f=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}$ Substituting the value of $\omega$ from eq(2), we obtain: $f=\frac{\frac{qB}{m}}{2\pi}$ or $f=\frac{qB}{2\pi m}$ We now plug in the known values to obtain: $f=\frac{1.602\times 10^{-19}(1.2)}{2(3.1416)(1.67\times 10^{-27}}$ $f=1.8\times 10^7 Hz$
