 The component of velocity perpendicular to the field is v \sin \theta, the radius of the helical path,

\begin{aligned} r=\frac{m v \sin \theta}{2 B} & =\frac{\left(1.67 \times 10^{-27}\right)\left(4 \times 10^{5}\right) \sqrt{3}}{\left(1.6 \times 10^{-19}\right) \times 0.4 \times 2} \\ & =9 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}=0.9 \mathrm{~cm} . \end{aligned}

Time period of revolution,

T=\frac{2 \pi r}{v \sin \theta}=\frac{2 \times 3.14 \times 0.009 \times 2}{4 \times 10^{5} \times \sqrt{3}}=1.63 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~s}
