Question

The amount of meat in prehistoric diets can be determined by measuring the ratio of the isotopes nitrogen-15 to nitrogen-14 in bone from human remains. Carnivores concentrate ¹⁵N, so this ratio tells archeologists how much meat was consumed by ancient people. Suppose you use a velocity selector (figure 1) to obtain singly ionized atoms of speed 513 km/s and want to bend them within a uniform magnetic field of 0.51 T. The measured masses of these isotopes are 2.35x10^-26 kg (¹⁴N) and 2.25x10^-26 kg (¹⁵N). Find the seperation of the ¹⁴N and ¹⁵N isotopes at the detector.
