Q. In a particular spectrometer, doubly ionised [tex]\stackrel{12}{6}[/tex]C and singly ionised [tex]\stackrel{6}{3}[/tex]Li atoms are detected. The ratio of the path radii is 1.00252, the Li having the larger value. The fields are constant. Find the mass of of the lithium atom.
I can only think of the equation which links electric force and circular motion in order to find the mass of the atom, however I can't seem to draw out the info needed to use the equation:
m = q [tex]\frac{BR}{v}[/tex]
where q is the charge, B is the magnetic field, and v is the velocity of the atom.
