Who made the first mass spectrograph before Aston?

  • Albert Einstein

  • Nobody, Aston was the first

  • Marie Curie

  • Isaac Newton

Answer

The answer is nobody. Aston was the first person to build a mass spectrograph. He built it in 1919. The mass spectrograph is a device that can separate different isotopes of an element. It works by passing a beam of charged particles through a magnetic field. The different isotopes are deflected by different amounts by the magnetic field, and this allows them to be separated.
