Problem

The initial velocity of ions in the emitter (1) is zero, and the electric field between the emitter and collector (2) is constant. Show that the trajectory of the ions is independent of their mass. How do the times of flight of different ions along the same trajectory relate if the charge of the ions is the same, and the ratio of their masses is equal to n?
