1. Beams of charged particles are deflected by an electrical field. The angle of


deflection of a particle is proportional to its charge / mass ratio.
+
In an experiment protons (H ) are deflected by an angle of +15°. In another

experiment under identical conditions D ions are deflected by an angle of Y°.
Deuterium, 2H, has 1 neutron and 1 proton. While hydrogen has 1 proton and no
neutron. What is the value of Y? show your working
