28. Magnetic Fields and Forces / Mass Spectrometer / Problem 5

A mass spectrometer uses sulfur isotopes of mass numbers 32, 33, and 34 from a meteorite sample. The directions of the electric field between the plates and the magnetic fields are shown below. The marks formed by singly charged ions of each type on a detector film are equally spaced by 0.0017 m. Determine the new spacing on the detector if the ions are doubly charged.
