A beam of singly ionized atoms of carbon (each charge +e) all have the same speed enters a mass spectrometer, as shown in Fig. The ions strike the photographic plate in two different locations 5 cm apart.

In Thomson experiment of finding e//m for electrons, been of electron is replaced by that of muons (particle with same charges as of electrons but mass 208 times that of electrons). No deflection condition in this case satisfied if

Three particles having charges in the ratio of 2 : 3 : 5 , produce the same point on the photographic film in Thomson's experiment. Their masses are in the ratio of

An opaque ball of diameter D = 40 mm is placed between a source of light with wavelength lambda = 0.55 mu m and a photographic plate. The distance between the source and the ball is equal to a = 12 m and that between the ball and the photographic plate is equal to b = 18m . find: (a) the image dimension y' on the plate if the transverse dimension of the source is y = 6.0 mm , (b) the minimum height of irregularities, covering the surface of the ball at random, at which the ball obstructs light. Note: As calculations and experience shown, that happens when the height of irregularities is comparable with the width of the Fresnel zone along which the edge of an opaque screen passes.
