University of Virginia Velocity Selector in a Mass Spectrometer Questions
A mass spectrometer accepts ions from the velocity selector and it is configured as below.. An ion (1+) enters the mass spectrometer at the point indicated.
– Draw the direction of the force as the ion enters the magnetic field.
– Draw the path the particle will take to the detector.
– Derive an expression for the mass in terms of all other relevant parameters for this instrument.
– An impact is detected at 2 cm away from the injection port. If the magnitude of the magnetic field is 0.1 T and particle speed is 1000 m/s, what is the mass of the 1+ ion?
