A mass spectrometer is being used to separate common oxygen-16 from the much rarer oxygen-18, taken from a sample of old glacial ice. The ratio of the masses of these two ions is 16 to 18, and the mass of oxygen-16 is 2.66×10^−26 kg. They are both singly charged, and they both travel at 4.84×10^6 m/swhen they enter the mass spectrometer with a 1.11T magnetic field that is perpendicular to the particle velocity.

What is the separation between their paths, in meters, when they hit a target after traversing a semicircle?
