Homework Statement
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.

Homework Equations
∑Fy = may
vy = ayt
The Attempt at a Solution
By Newton's 2nd Law,
ay = eV/mw from 0 to l
By kinematics t1 = l/v0
t2 = t1 + L/v0 = l/v0 + L/v0
From 0 to l, by kinematics:
y1 = 1/2*eV/mw*(l/v0^2)
(v1)y = eV/mw*l/v0
Hence, from l to L where ay is zero
y2 = d = 1/2*eV/mw*l^2/v0^2 + eV/mw*L/v0
It appears the solution is missing the left term I keep getting, any idea why?
