Suppose the electric field between the electric plates in the mass spectrometer of Fig. 20−38 is 2.04×104 V/m and the magnetic fields B = B′ = 0.40 T. The source contains carbon isotopes of mass numbers 12, 13 , and 14 from a long-dead piece of a tree. (To estimate atomic masses, multiply by 1.67×10−27 kg. ) Figure 20−38 (a) How far apart are the lines formed by the singly charged ions of each type on the photographic film? mm (b) What if the ions were doubly charged? mm
