In a carbon-dating experiment, a particular type of mass spectrometer is used to separate 14C from 12C.
Question:
(a) Are the ions positively or negatively charged?
(b) Which of the accelerating plates (east or west) is positively charged?
(c) Which of the deflection plates (north or south) is positively charged?
(d) Find the correct values of ÎV1 and ÎV2 in order to count 12C+ ions (mass 1.993 Ã 10 26 kg).
(e) Find the correct values of ÎV1 and ÎV2 in order to count 14C + ions (mass 2.325 Ã 1026 kg).
