3 A mass spectrometer is designed to separate fissionable uranium-235 atoms from non-fissionable Uranium-238 atoms. 4 a) Calculate the ratio of the radius for a U-238 atom compared to that of a U-235 atom. (A/3) b) The radius of the magnetic field in the spectrometer was approximately 1.22 m. How far apart were the slits for the two isotopes. (k/2)
