The velocity selector in the problem prior to this one is used in a mass spectrometer. Protons (with zero neutrons) are the most common hydrogen nuclei. Some hydrogen isotopes, however, have either one or two neutrons in addition to the proton. If a beam of hydrogen nuclei is shot into a magnetic  eld of strength 2.0T and the nuclei do a u-turn after which they strike a detector, how far apart will the three isotopes be on the detector surface? Assume both protons and neutrons have a mass of 1:67  10?27kg and e = 1:60  10?19C.

Question

The velocity selector in the problem prior to this one is used in a mass spectrometer. Protons
(with zero neutrons) are the most common hydrogen nuclei. Some hydrogen isotopes, however, have
either one or two neutrons in addition to the proton. If a beam of hydrogen nuclei is shot into a
magnetic  eld of strength 2.0T and the nuclei do a u-turn after which they strike a detector, how far
apart will the three isotopes be on the detector surface? Assume both protons and neutrons have a
mass of 1:67  10?27kg and e = 1:60  10?19C.
