Asked in ETEA MDCAT 2010 2010

The instrument that is used to determine the weight of a proton as well as a positive ion and is capable of recording its result as the photograph is called:

Correct answer: A. Mass spectroscope

  • A. Mass spectroscope
  • B. Atomic spectroscope
  • C. Spectrophotographic analyzer
  • D. Spectrophotometer

Explanation

A mass spectroscope is an instrument used to determine the weight (mass) of a proton as well as positive ions. It works based on the principle of mass spectrometry, which involves ionizing a sample and separating the ions based on their mass-to-charge ratio. The resulting ion spectrum can be recorded and analyzed.
