Mass Spectrometer Problem
Mass of Particle in Magnetic Field
In this problem you are going to be determining the mass of a pair of isotopes of an imaginary element using a simplified mass spectrometer. Atoms of your element will be ionized and fired through a velocity selector. After leaving the velocity selector, the ions will enter a new magnetic field, follow a semi-circular path and then hit a detector.
