Hello again. I have a final exam and there are 7 questions. I could not do. I asked my first question and I taked its answer. Then I ask you second question . This question is bonded the first question.
This first question that is answered.
The mass difference between two isotopes is sometimes just a neutron mass. The spectrometer should separate them very well. For such an isotope combination, the difference in radius should be around 1 cm. That is r2 - r1 = 1 cm. In order to achieve this, choose a magnetic field with a magnitude in Tesla (maximum magnetic field you can obtain from a conventional magnet is around 2.5 T so be far away from this value) and choose the direction also. Then determine the velocity of isotope you need. Last calculate radius r of a Pb204 ^(-) smallest isotope.
And this is my second question

The isotope is encased in a thin aluminum container. Calculate the mass of 241 Am in grams in the detector. Express your answer numerically in grams. Part B: Fears of radiation exposure from normal use of such detectors are largely unfounded. Identify reasons why 241 Am smoke detectors are perfectly safe. Select all that apply a. The penetrating power of αα radiation is limited. b. Ions get trapped by electrodes. c. The amount of americium is very little. d. The number of αα particles leaving the case is low. e.

Now, assume that, for anyone who is not taking any flights, the natural background exposure in a year is 3 mSv, and assume also that there are no other significant sources of radiation.
