mass spectrometer is used to examine the isotopes of uranium. Ions in the beam emerge from a velocity selector at a speed of 3.00 x 105 m/s and enter a uniform magnetic field of 0.375 T directed perpendicularly to the velocity of the ions. What is the distance between the impact points formed on the photographic plate by ions of 235U and 238U? The mass of a 235U ion is 3.902 x 10-25 kg, and the mass of a 238U ion is 3.952 x 10-25 kg, while both types have a charge of 1.602 x 10-19 C. A mass spectrometer (schematic). Charged particles are first sent through a velocity selector. They then enter a region where a magnetic field B causes positive ions to move in a semicircular path and strike a photographic film at P.
