A light beam of wavelength 500 nm is incident on a metal having work function of 1.25 eV, placed in a magnetic field of intensity B. The electrons emitted perpendicular to the magnetic field B, with maximum kinetic energy are bent into a circular arc of radius 30 cm. The value of B is ________×10-7 T.
Given hc=20×10-26 J m, the mass of the electron=9×10-31 kg.

Solution

By photoelectric equation

hcλ-ϕ=kmax

kmax=1240500-1.25≈1.25

r=2mkeB

B=2mker

=125×10-7 T
