Cyclotron Motion - The Physics of Bruce Harvey
... So a charged particle in cyclotron motion may under the right conditions display quantised behaviour. Indeed, we might well expect this quantised behaviour to be associated with adsorption and emissions of photons. If one did not know what was going on, one might wrongly assume that the particle had ...
