Radius of charged particle -

r=\frac{mv}{qB}=\frac{P}{qB}=\frac{\sqrt{}2mk}{qB}=\frac{1}{B}\sqrt{}\frac{2mV}{q}

\frac{M_{p}}{M_{\alpha }}=\frac{1}{4}

\frac{Q_{p}}{Q_{\alpha }}=\frac{1}{2}

Potential Difference=V

kE=q\Delta V

r=\frac{\sqrt{2mq\Delta v}}{qB}

r\alpha \sqrt{\frac{m}{q}}

\frac{r_{p}}{r_{\alpha }}=\sqrt{\frac{m_{p}}{m_{\alpha }}}\times \sqrt{\frac{q_{\alpha }}{q_{p}}}

\frac{r_{p}}{r_{\alpha }}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}\times \sqrt{2}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

 

\frac{r_{p}}{r_{\alpha }}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}


Option 1)

1 : \sqrt{2}

Option 2)

 1 : 3

Option 3)

1 : \sqrt{3}

Option 4)

1 : 2
