An iron plate 0.2m thick is magnetized to saturation in a direction parallel to the surface of the plate . A 10 GeV muon moving perpendicular to that surface enters the plate and passes through it with relatively little loss of energy. Calculate approximately the angular deflection of themuon’strajectory, given that the rest-massenergy of the muon is 200 MeV and that the saturation magnetization in iron is equivalent to 1.5·10^29 electron moment spercubicmeter.
