Photoelectrons are emitted with maximum velocity $v$ when light of frequency $3f$ is incident on a photosensitive material of work function $2hf$. If the frequency of the incident light is $4.25f$,the maximum velocity of the emitted photoelectrons is ($h$ = Planck's constant).

$A$ metal surface having work function '$W_{0}$' emits photoelectrons when photons of energy '$E$' are incident on it. The electron enters a uniform magnetic field '$B$' in a perpendicular direction and moves in a circular path of radius '$r$'.
