Chapter 22, Problem 22.29P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The transit times of the given ions mass has to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Transit time:

Transit time for ion can be calculated by using the following formula.

$\text{t = }\frac{\text{distance}}{\text{velocity}}$

Where, velocity can be calculated by using the following formula.

$\text{v = }\sqrt{\frac{\text{2zeV}}{\text{m}}}$

Here, v represents velocity, e represents elementary charge, V represents acceleration voltage, m represents mass, and z represents charge.
