In the Bainbridge mass spectrometer (Fig. 28.13) the distance between the velocity filter (selector) exit and the entrance slit of the detecting device (collector slit) is fixed and equal to l= 400 mm. The magnetic induction in both sections of the device is the same, being equal to 5.00 xx 10^(-2)T. When the electric field in the velocity filter is varied continuously the anode current peaks are observed at field strengths of 1.20 xx 10^4" V/m and "1.60 xx 10^4 V//m. Assuming the ions to be singly charged, identify them (i.e. find the element to which they belong).

Solution :Making USE of the result of the previous problem and NOTING that R l/2, we obtain the EXPRESSION for the IONIC mass
`m (el B^2)/(2E) (kg)=(el B^2)/(2 xx 1.66 xx 10^(-27)E) ("amu")=(4.82 xx 10^(4))/(E) ("amu")`.
