A mass spectrometer, sketched below, is a device used to separate different ions. Chlorine ions with a well-defined velocity vo enter through a slit into a region of uniform magnetic field B, where they follow a semicircular path until they strike the detector slit above the entry slit. The distance between the entry and the detector slits is d = 1.20 m.
Chlorine ions of mass 35 amu (1 amu equals 1.66×10-27 kg), carrying a charge of +1e, when it enters the spectrometer. If the magnitude of the magnetic field B is 0.478 T.
With which initial speed should enter the ions to reach the detection slit?
What should be the kinetic energy for the incoming ions to reach the detection slit?
If we change to chlorine ions of 37 amu, but keeping same speed. How close to the detector slit will they impact ?
If we change to chlorine ions of 37 amu, but keeping same kinectic energy. How close to the detector slit will they impact ?
