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

Radiation \(p\) with wavelength \(6561\;\mathring A\) falls on a metal surface to produce photoelectrons. The electrons are made to enter a uniform magnetic field of \(3 \times 10^{-4}\; T\). If the radius of the largest circular path followed by the electrons is \(10 \;\mathrm{mm},\) the work function of the metal is close to ............... \(eV\)

  1. A \(1.8\)
  2. B \(0.8\)
  3. C \(1.1\)
  4. D \(1.6\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1.1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the work function be \(\phi\) \(\therefore \quad \mathrm{KE}_{\max }=\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda}-\phi\) Again, \(\mathrm{R}_{\max }=\frac{\sqrt{2 \mathrm{mKE}_{\max }}}{\mathrm{qB}}=\frac{\sqrt{2 \mathrm{m}\left(\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda}-\phi\right)}}{\mathrm{qB}}\)…
