The ion source in a mass spectrometer produces both singly and triply ionized species, X+ and X3+. The difference in ma between these species is too small to be detected. Both species are accelerated through the same electric potential difference, and both experience the same magnetic field, which causes them to move on circular paths. The radius of the path for the species X+ is , while the radius for species X3+ is r3. Find the ratio r, / r3 of the radii. 1/r3 = 3/1 Additional Materials I eBook Submit Answer PDF étv MacBook Air DII DD F11 F12 F9 F10 F6 F7 F8 F4 F5 & ( deleta 5 6 7 8 9 } + ||
