Abstract
The interaction of a charged particle orbiting in cyclotron motion with a transverse rotating field is analysed from an elemental impulse approach and by solving the linear equations of motion. A close analogy is shown between the motion of a particle under-going a sequence of N such interactions and effects produced by an N-slit diffraction grating. The analogy suggests a new method of velocity and mass spectrometry to which such optical concepts and phenomena as the Rayleigh criterion of resolving power, overlapping orders and Babinet's principle may be applied.
