Question

Please, show me.

A mass spectrometer is used to separate the nuclei ofthe three AV most abundant isotopes of hydrogen: H (protium): mass 1.6735x10 27 kg H (deuterium): mass 3 3445x10 27 kg di H (tritium): mass 5.0050x10-27kg Each nuclei carries the same charge (+1.6x10 19 C) and is accelerated through the same potential difference. magnetic field off the spectrometer is adjusted to 0.60 Tesla, how far below the point at which the particles enter the magnetic field will the tritium nuclei exit the field?

Explanation / Answer

Velocity of tritium=sqrt(2Vq/m)

=16.96 *10^5 m/s

radius of tritium in magnetic field=mv/Bq

=(5.005*10^-27 *16.96 *10^5)/0.6*1.6 *10^-19

=88.43*10^-3 m

distance travelled before exiting field=diameter of circle=2*88.43*10^3

=176.86*10^-3 m
