a charged particle moving in a perpendicular uniform magnetic field penetrates a layer of head and there by looses half of its kinetic energy . how will the radius of its path change?

If the kinetic energy was reduced 2 times, then velocitywas reduced sqrt(2) times, because E=mv^2/2
the radius is related to velocity as
r = mv/qB
where m is mass, B is magnetic field and q is charge. If all these values stay the same, then change in radius is also in sqrt(2) times, as velocity is, because it is proportional to it.
The expert did excellent work as usual and was extremely helpful for me.
