In the cathode-ray tube, electrons having a mass m
are emitted from a source point S and begin to travel
horizontally with an initial velocity v0. While passing
between the grid plates a distance l, they are subjected to a
vertical force having a magnitude eV/w, where e is the
charge of an electron, V the applied voltage acting across
the plates, and w the distance between the plates. After
passing clear of the plates, the electrons then travel in
straight lines and strike the screen at A. Determine the
deflection d of the electrons in terms of the dimensions of
the voltage plate and tube. Neglect gravity which causes a
slight vertical deflection when the electron travels from S to
the screen, and the slight deflection between the plates.
See attachment for picture
2. Relevant equations
∑Fy = may
vy = ayt
3. The attempt at a solution
eV/w = may
Hence, ay = eV/mw
By kinematics, from the start to the end of the plates (length l)
vy= v0 + ayt
How do I get the time for this interval? (between the plates)
