← ScienceWhich mechanism limits electron speeds in high-energy linear accelerators?
A)Relativistic mass increase approaches infinity✓
B)Increased ionization causes beam dispersion
C)Electromagnetic interference disrupts acceleration
D)Synchrotron radiation drains accelerating power
💡 Explanation
The electron's relativistic mass increases with velocity because of mass-energy equivalence; therefore, acceleration becomes increasingly difficult as the velocity approaches c, rather than ionization or other interference becoming the limiting factor.
