The angular frequency of a cyclotron is independent of

The dees are placed opposite each other with a narrow gap between them. The particles can move in the gap. The particles are put in the centre of the gap.

The dees are kept between the two poles of an electromagnet.

The magnetic field causes the particles to take a circular path due to the Lorentz force

A very high alternating voltage is applied between the dees. The voltage creates an alternating field which accelerates the particles.

The frequency of the voltage is adjusted such that the particles make one circle during one cycle of voltage. The frequency must be set to the particle’s cyclotron frequency.
