Which device that Szilard conceived, accelerated charged particles in a straight line?
Circular Accelerator
QED Oscillator
Linear accelerator
Sinusoidal Accelerator
Answer
A linear accelerator is a particle accelerator that accelerates charged particles in a straight line. The most common design of linear accelerator is a type called the radio frequency quadrupole accelerator, which uses electric fields generated by radio frequency alternating current to accelerate particles.
