In a cyclotron, the most important condition is that of the cyclotron frequency. The frequency of the square wave oscillator connected to the dees of the cyclotron must match the frequency of revolution of the charged particle being accelerated. For ordinary ions, once the frequency is set there is no need to change or adjust the frequency. The [...]

A question from Relativity
Can someone tell me how to derive M = M_0/√(1 – v^2/c^2) Emmanuel Gonzalez posted this. The formula for relativistic mass (i.e. the mass of a body when it is moving with speeds comparable to the velovity of light in vacuum is given by)
