Consider a proton, a deuteron (nucleus of deuterium, i.e., Hydrogen-2), and an alpha particle (nucleus of Helium-4), all with the same speed. These particles enter a region of uniform magnetic field B, traveling perpendicular to B. What is the ratio of the deuteron's orbital radius to the proton's orbital radius?
