Question:medium

Photons of energy 4.2 eV are incident on a photosensitive material of work function 1.7 eV. If the emitted photoelectrons enter normally into a uniform magnetic field of \(\sqrt{2}\times10^{-4}T\), then the largest radius of the circular path described by the photoelectrons is nearly

Show Hint

For photoelectric effect problems: \[ K_{\max}=E-\phi \] and for charged particles moving perpendicular to a magnetic field: \[ r=\frac{mv}{qB} \] These two formulas together solve most JEE numerical questions.
