The radiation corresponding to ` 3 rarr 2` transition of hydrogen atom falls on a metal surface to produce photoelectrons . These electrons are made to enter circuit a magnitic field `3 xx 10^(-4) T` if the ratio of thelargest circular path follow by these electron is `10.0 mm , the work function of the metal is close toA. `1.8 eV`B. `1.1 eV`C. `0.8 eV`D. `1.6 eV`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Radius of circular path followedb by electron is given by
`r = (m v)/(qB) = (sqrt(2m e V))/(eB) = (1)/® (sqrt(2m))/€V`
rArr V = (n^(2) r^(2) e)/(2m) = 0.W`
for transition between `3 to 2`
`E = 13.6 ((1)/(4) - (1)/(9)) = (13.6 xx 5)/(36) = 1.88 eV`
work function `= 1.88 eV - 0.8 eV`
`= 1.08 eV = 1.1 eV`
