$A$ proton accelerated by a potential difference of $500 \ kV$ flies through a uniform transverse magnetic field of $0.1 \ T$. The field is spread over a region of $1.0 \ cm$ thickness. The angle through which the proton gets deviated from its original direction is (Proton mass $= 1.6 \times 10^{-27} \ kg$ and charge of proton $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$) (in $rad$)
