Question

• BIO Ancient Meat Eating. The amount of meat in
prehistoric diets can be determined by measuring the ratio of
the isotopes PN to 14N in bone from human remains. Carnivores
concentrate 15N, so this ratio tells archaeologists how much
meat was consumed. For a mass spectrometer that has a path
radius of 12.5 cm for 12C ions (mass 1.99 × 10¬26 kg), find
the separation of the 14N (mass 2.32 x 10-26 kg) and 15N
kg) isotopes at the detector.
