I am having trouble making sense of the frequency of oscillations for a cyclotron. What I don't understand is, if a the voltage difference of the two dees is switched twice ( each time the particles are about to enter them), then why is the frequency of oscillation the same as the frequency at which the particle moves through the cyclotron. To me it seems that the frequency of oscillation should be twice the frequency of the particles but obviously that is not the case.
