JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 11. Dual nature of radiation and matter

A metal surface is illuminated by a radiation of wavelength \(4500 \; \mathring A\). The ejected photo-electron enters a constant magnetic field of \(2 \; mT\) making an angle of \(90^{\circ}\) with the magnetic field. If it starts revolving in a circular path of radius \(2 \; mm\), the work function of the metal is approximately ............. \(eV\)

  1. A \(1.36\)
  2. B \(1.69\)
  3. C \(2.78\)
  4. D \(2.23\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1.36\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\lambda=4500 \; \mathring A\) \(B =2 \; mT , R =2 \; mm\) \(R =\frac{\sqrt{2 \; Km }}{ qB }\) \(\frac{(q B R)^{2}}{2 \; m}=K\) \(\frac{\left(1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 2 \times 10^{-3} \times 2 \times 10^{-3}\right)^{2}}{2 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31}}= K\)…
