Problem 2. The isotopes magnesium-24 (mass 24 amu) and magnesium-26 (mass 26 amu) are to be separated using a mass spectrometer in which the magnetic field magnitude is 0.577 T. Both are singly ionized (charge e). What is the minimum value of the potential difference V through which these ions must be accelerated if the separation distance between them on the detector screen must be 2.60 mm? [Hint: we showed in class that the orbital radius of a particle of mass m and charge q in the magnetic region satisfies (q/m)r 2B2 = 2V . Start from here.]

A mass spectrometer is being used to separate common oxygen-16 from the much rarer oxygen-18, taken from a sample of old glacial ice. (The relative abundance of these oxygen isotopes is related to climatic temperature at the time the ice was deposited.) The ratio of the masses of these two ions is 16 to 18, the mass of oxygen-16 is 2.66 ? 10?26 kg, and they are singly charged and travel at 2.60 ? 106 m/s in a 1.70 T...
