Question

A Synchrotron has a bending radius of 7.15 m and a circumference of 171 m in which 2.9 GeV electrons circulate.

a) What is the energy loss per turn of one electron?

b) What horizontal distance from the bend magnet would an experimenter need to be in order to fully illuminate with x-rays a sample 5 mm in vertical size?

c) What is the wavelength of the synchrotron radiation hitting the sample at the critical energy?
