$A$ photon of energy $E$ ejects photoelectrons from a metal surface whose work function is $W_0$. If this electron enters into a uniform magnetic field with induction $B$ in a direction perpendicular to the field and describes a circular path of radius $r$,then the radius is given by

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{2 e(E-W_0)}{m B}}$
  • B
    $\frac{\sqrt{2(E-W_0) m}}{e B}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{2 m(E-W_0)}{m B}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{2 m(E-W_0) e B}$

$A$ beam of light of wavelength $\lambda$ falls on a metal having work function $\phi$ placed in a magnetic field $B$. The most energetic electrons, moving perpendicular to the field, are bent in circular arcs of radius $R$. If the experiment is performed for different values of $\lambda$, then the $B^2$ vs. $\frac{1}{\lambda}$ graph will look like (keeping all other quantities constant):

$A$ silver sphere of radius $1 \ cm$ and work function $4.7 \ eV$ is suspended from an insulating thread in free space. It is under continuous illumination of $200 \ nm$ wavelength light. As photoelectrons are emitted,the sphere gets charged and acquires a potential. The maximum number of photoelectrons emitted from the sphere is $A \times 10^Z$ (where $1 < A < 10$). The value of $Z$ is:

When the energy of the incident radiation is increased by $20\%$,the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted from a metal surface increases from $0.5\, eV$ to $0.8\, eV$. The work function of the metal is ............. $eV$.

When light of a given wavelength is incident on a metallic surface,the minimum potential needed to stop the emitted photoelectrons is $6.0 \ V$. This potential drops to $0.6 \ V$ if another source with wavelength four times that of the first one and intensity half of the first one is used. What are the wavelength of the first source and the work function of the metal,respectively? $\left[\text{Take } hc = 1.24 \times 10^{-6} \ J \ m\right]$
