Q.

A monochromatic light is incident on a metallic plate having work function ϕ. An electron, emitted normally to the plate from a point A with maximum kinetic energy, enterss a constant magnetic field, perpendicular to the initial velocity of electron. The electron passes through a curve and hits back the plate at a point B. The distance between A and B is

(Given: The magnitude of charge of an electron is e and mass is m, h is Planck's constant and c is velocity of light. Take the magnetic field exists throughout the path of electron)         [2025]

KEmax=hcλϕ

p=2mKmax

p=2m(hcλϕ)

dAB=2R=2[pqB]

dAB=22m(hcλϕ)eB=8m(hcλϕ)eB
