Two monochromatic light beams $A$ and $B$ of equal intensity are incident normally on a metallic surface per unit area. Their wavelengths are $\lambda_A$ and $\lambda_B$ respectively. The incident light is effective in ejecting photoelectrons. The ratio of the number of photoelectrons emitted by beam $A$ to that by beam $B$ is:

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