The radiation corresponding to $3 \rightarrow 2$ transition of a hydrogen atom falls on a metal surface to produce photoelectrons. These electrons are made to enter a magnetic field of $3 \times 10^{-4} \ T$. If the radius of the largest circular path followed by these electrons is $10.0 \ mm$,the work function of the metal is close to......$ eV$.

  • A
    $1.1$
  • B
    $0.8$
  • C
    $1.6$
  • D
