Photo-electrons are produced by from a metal surface using a radiation of wavelength 6561   A ∘ . These photo-electrons, when made to enter a uniform magnetic field of intensity 3 × 10 − 4   T , move along different circular paths with a maximum radius of 10   mm , then the work function of the metal is close to
Options
- A3 . 1   eV
- B0 . 1   eV
- C2 . 1   eV
- D1 . 1   eV
Correct answer
D. 1 . 1   eV
Step-by-step solution
KE max = E - ϕ = 12400 λ ( in A ) - ϕ ( in eV ) ∴ r = 2 mKE eB KE max = r 2 e 2 B 2 2 m = r 2 eB 2 2 m (in J ) ∴ ϕ = 12400 6561 - r 2 eB 2 2 m = 1 . 1 eV
