Assume that the train shown in Figure 1-15 is 1.0 km long as measured by the observer at C ' and is moving at 170 km/h. (The point C ' is midway along this train.) What time interval between the arrival of the wave fronts at C ' is measured by the observer at C in S?
Enter a number.

We wish to use a mass spectrometer to separate 197Au from 198Hg in a sample of material. Using the isotopic masses listed in Appendix A and assuming that each singly ionized atom enters the spectrometer at a speed of 4.5 105 m/s, answer the following:


Figure 3-3

(a) What uniform magnetic field perpendicular to 197Au's velocity is needed for the orbits to have a radius of 2.4 m?
Enter a number.
T
(b) What will be the separation R of the two impact points after the ions have covered half a complete circle? (See Figure 3-3.)
Enter a number.
mm
(c) What would your answers to (a) and (b) change to if the atoms were all doubly ionized?
Enter a number.
