Abstract
When and where a charged particle with given energy will enter or leave the magnetic field in a mass spectrometer, and how we use quantum mechanics to calculate them are interesting problems. The double-wave description of the system leads to the results that are similar to that of classical mechanics but the energies of particles take quantized discrete values.
