Consider a mass spectrometer used to separate the two isotopes hydrogen and deuterium. The isotope hydrogen has a proton, and deuterium has a proton and a neutron. Assume both ions have a 1+ charge and they enter the magnetic field region with a speed of 6.0 x 105m/s. Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field that is required to give a detector placement difference of 1.5 mm as measured from the initial entry point into the spectrometer compared to when the ions leave the spectrometer. Show your work.
