In J. J. Thompson’s experiment depicted in Figures 1.10 and 1.11, assume that the electrons are initially traveling at a speed of 8.00106ms1 in the +x direction and the electrostatic plates have a length of l=0.10m , between which the electrons are deflected toward the -y direction (downward) by an electric field of magnitude 200Vm1 . (Note that 1volt=1V=1JC1 .) Calculate S, the magnitude of the downward displacement, if the fluorescent screen is located 0.90 m beyond the exit of the region between the two electrostatic plates. No magnetic field is applied to counteract the electrostatic force. (Caution: L is not 1.0 m nor 0.9 m; see Figure 1.11.)
