Photons of wavelength $\lambda$ are incident on a metal. The most energetic electrons ejected from the metal are bent into a circular arc of radius $R$ by a perpendicular magnetic field having a magnitude $B$. The work function of the metal is (where,symbols have their usual meanings)

  • A
    $\frac{h c}{\lambda} - \frac{q^{2} B^{2} R^{2}}{2 m}$
  • B
    $\frac{h c}{\lambda} + \frac{q^{2} B^{2} R^{2}}{2 m}$
  • C
    $\frac{h c}{\lambda} - m c^{2} - \frac{q^{2} B^{2} R^{2}}{2 m}$
  • D
    $\frac{h c}{\lambda} - 2 m \left( \frac{q B R}{2 m} \right)^{2}$
