The cadmium red line splits into three components separated by 120MHZ when the light source is placed in a magnetic field with a flux density equal to m_Tesla 8.6. The detected light is in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field. Calculate the ratio of the charge of an electron to its mass (specific charge).

A regular LED light bulb continuously emits 10.0 W of light uniformly in all directions. A man stands so that his eyes are 5.00 m away from this light bulb and he is looking directly at the light bulb. There are no other sources of light in this room.

How long would this man have to stare at this light bulb in order to take into his eyes through the pupils the same amount of energy as eating a blueberry? Don't forget that he has two eyes! (Note that far more energy from the light is hitting his skin, but that is not what we care about here.)

A limitation on how many spectra per second can be recorded by a time-of-flight mass spectrometer is the time it takes the slowest ion to go from the source to the detector. Suppose we want to scan up to m/z 500 for ions with z = 1. Calculate the speed of this heaviest ion if it is accelerated through 5.00 kV in the source. How long would it take to drift 2.00 m through a spectrometer? At what frequency could you record spectra if a new extraction cycle were begun each time the heaviest ion reached the detector? What would be the frequency if you wanted to scan up to m/z 1000?
