JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 12. atoms

The radiation corresponding to \(3 \rightarrow 2\) transition ofhydrogen 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......\( eV\)

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1.1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Radius of circular path followed by electron is given by, \(r=\frac{m v}{q B}=\frac{\sqrt{2 m e V}}{e B}=\frac{1}{B} \sqrt{\frac{2 m}{e} V}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad V=\frac{B^{2} r^{2} e}{2 m}=0.8 \mathrm{V}\) For transition between \(3\) to \(2\) .…
