Chapter 20 Problem 57

Question

(II) Suppose the electric field between the electric plates in the mass spectrometer of Fig. 20-41 is \(2.88 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{m}\) and the magnetic fields are \(B=B^{\prime}=0.68 \mathrm{~T}\). The source contains carbon isotopes of mass numbers 12,13 , and 14 from a long-dead piece of a tree. (To estimate masses of the atoms, multiply by \(\left.1.67 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{~kg} .\right)\) How far apart are the lines formed by the singly charged ions of each type on the photographic film? What if the ions were doubly charged?

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 20 problem number 57 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: (II) Suppose the electric field between the electric plates in the mass spectrometer of Fig. 20-41 is \(2.88 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{m}\) and the magnetic fields are \(B=B^{\prime}=0.68 \mathrm{~T}\). The source contains carbon isotopes of mass numbers 12,13 , and 14 from a long-dead piece of a tree. (To estimate masses of the atoms, multiply by \(\left.1.67 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{~kg} .\right)\) How far apart are the lines formed by the singly charged ions of each type on the photographic film? What if the ions were doubly charged?
From the textbook chapter Magnetism you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
