Since the period of revolution of electrons in a uniform magnetic field rapidly increases with the growth of energy, a cyclotron is unsuitable for their acceleration. This drawback is rectified in a microtron (Fig. 3.105 ) in which a change in the period of revolution of an electron is made multiple with the period of accelerating field How many times has an electron to cross the accelerating gap of a microtron to acquire an energy if , the magnetic induction is equal to and the frequency of accelerating field to
