Problem

Light of wavelength 180 nm180\,\text{nm} ejects photoelectrons from a metal plate whose work function is 2 eV2\,\text{eV}. If a uniform magnetic field of 5×10−5 T5\times10^{-5}\,\text{T} is applied parallel to the plate, what is the radius of the path followed by electrons ejected normally from the plate with maximum energy?
