A positive, singly ionized atom of mass number AM is accelerated from rest by the voltage 192 V. Thereafter, it enters a rectangular region of width w with magnetic field B0 = 0.1 k Tesla, as shown in the figure. The ion finally hits a detector at the distance x below its starting trajectory. [Given: Mass of neutron/proton = (5/3) 10-27 kg, charge of the electron = 1.6 10-19 C.] [figure] Which of the following option(s) is(are) correct?
- The value of x for H+ ion is 4 cm.
- The value of x for an ion with AM = 144 is 48 cm.
- For detecting ions with 1 AM 196, the minimum height (x1 - x0) of the detector is 55 cm.
- The minimum width w of the region of the magnetic field for detecting ions with AM = 196 is 56 cm.
Answer
(1) The value of x for H+ ion is 4 cm., (2) The value of x for an ion with AM = 144 is 48 cm.
Solution
Radius R = 2mqVqB; the ion turns through a semicircle, so x = 2R (needs w R). R AM.
AM = 1: 2mqV = 2 53 10-27 1.6 10-19 192 = 1.024 10-43, = 3.2 10-22; qB = 1.6 10-20 R = 2 cm, x = 4 cm — (A) correct.
AM = 144: R = 2 12 = 24 cm, x = 48 cm — (B) correct.
AM = 196: R = 2 14 = 28 cm, x1 = 56 cm; x0 = 4 cm x1 - x0 = 52 cm — (C) wrong.
Minimum width for AM = 196 is w = R = 28 cm — (D) wrong.
Answer: (A), (B)
