Atom 1 of mass 30.9 u and atom 2 of mass 32.2 u are both singly ionized with a charge of +e. After being introduced into a mass spectrometer (see the figure below) and accelerated from rest through a potential difference V = 7.40 kV, each ion follows a circular path in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude B = 0.570 T. What is the distance Δx between the points where the ions strike the detector?
