Shadow and eclipses result from
2 answers:
When an opaque obstacle is placed between a source of light and a screen, a shadow of the obstacle is formed on the screen. The kind of shadow depends on the size of the source of light. In other words, the earth casts its shadow on the moon. The solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes between the sun and the earth.

Answer:
3.28 cm
Explanation:
To solve this problem, you need to know that a magnetic field B perpendicular to the movement of a proton that moves at a velocity v will cause a Force F experimented by the particle that is orthogonal to both the velocity and the magnetic Field. When a particle experiments a Force orthogonal to its velocity, the path it will follow will be circular. The radius of said circle can be calculated using the expression:
r =
Where m is the mass of the particle, v is its velocity, q is its charge and B is the magnitude of the magnetic field.
The mass and charge of a proton are:
m = 1.67 * 10^-27 kg
q = 1.6 * 10^-19 C
So, we get that the radius r will be:
r = = 0.0328 m, or 3.28 cm.
