A monochromatic light is incident on a metallic plate having work function . An electron, emitted normally to the plate from a point A with maximum kinetic energy, enters 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 . The distance between and is : (Given : The magnitude of charge of an electron is e and mass is is Planck's constant and c is velocity of light. Take the magnetic field exists throughout the path of electron)

Correct answer: B
- Maximum kinetic energy of emitted electron
For photoelectric emission,
Let
So,
Hence,
- Motion in magnetic field
The magnetic field is perpendicular to the initial velocity, so the electron moves in a circular path of radius
Substitute the value of :
- Where does the electron hit the plate again?
The electron is emitted normally from the plate, so its initial velocity is perpendicular to the plate.
Since the magnetic field exists throughout the path and is perpendicular to velocity, the electron follows a circle. Starting from the plate with velocity normal to it, the electron returns to the plate after completing a semicircle.
Therefore, the distance between the emission point and the return point is the diameter of the circular path:
So,
- Match with options
This corresponds to:
So the correct option is B.
