A mass spectrometer is used to separate isotopes. If the beam emerges with a speed of 253 km/s and the magnetic field in the mass selector is 4.0 T, what is the distance in mm between where the following ions are detected? Remember that the ions trace a semicircular path before being detected. Note: the superscript number in the following says how many nucleons (protons and neutrons) are contained in the ion. The mass of a nucleon is 1.66 10-27 kg, and you should ignore the mass of the electrons.

  12C+ and 14C+

A mass spectrometer is used to examine the isotopes of uranium. Ions in the beam emerge from the velocity selector at a speed of 2.92 ✕ 105 m/s and enter a uniform magnetic field of 0.605 T directed perpendicularly to the velocity of the ions.

Design a mass spectrometer to distinguish between isotopes of Carbon (C112 and C14). The first stage is an ion gun in which carbon is blasted into a gas form and ionized to a +e charge. An electric field ejects a collimated beam of mixed C12 and C14 isotopes into a velocity filter with average energy 500eV. In the design, there should be access to a 1T magnetic field you can use for both your velocity filter and detector regions. In...
