A mass spectrometer is used to examine the isotopes of uranium. lons in the beam emerge from the velocity selector at a speed of 1.6105m/s and enter a uniform magnetic field of 0.6T directed perpendicularly to the velocity of the ions. (a) At what distance from the origin will the point of impact be for a singly charged 235U ion? Interesting fact: This is how much of the uranium for the first atomic bomb was isolated with a device called a Calutron (Cal-U-tron) at Oak Ridge Labs in Tennessee. For more info visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calutron. Hint: To calculate the mass for an atom, multiply the atomic mass (protons + neutrons) by the amu (atomic mass unit =1.661027kg ) See Chemistry Textbook A mass spectrometer is used to examine the isotopes of uranium. lons in the beam emerge from the velocity selector at a speed of 1.60105m/s and enter a uniform magnetic field of 0.6T directed perpendicularly to the velocity of the ions. (b) At what distance from the origin will the point of impact be for a singly charged 238U ion? A mass spectrometer is used to examine the isotopes of uranium. Ions in the beam emerge from the velocity selector at a speed of 1.60105m/s and enter a uniform magnetic field of 0.6T directed perpendicularly to the velocity of the ions. (c) What is the distance between the impact points formed on the photographic plate by singly charged ions of 235U and 238U
