Question 1 of 8
A uranium nucleus  92238U^{238}_{\ 92}\mathrm{U} at rest in a uniform magnetic field undergoes α\alpha decay. Afterwards both the α\alpha particle and the new nucleus move perpendicular to the field in uniform circular motion. The ratio of the radius of the α\alpha particle's path to that of the new nucleus is ( ).
