A mass spectrometer is used to examine the isotopes of uranium. Ions in the beam emerge from the velocity selector at a speed of 456,000 m/s and enter a uniform magnetic field of .498 T directed perpendicularly to the velocity of the ions. The charge of an electron is 1.602x10^-19 C and the atomic mass unit is 1.66x10^-27 kg. What is the distance between the impact points formed on the photographic plate by singly charged ions of 235-U and 238-U. **Answer in units of cm.
Thanks for your help.
