When a metal is irradiated by light having wavelength $\lambda$ $(\lambda < \lambda_0)$,all the photoelectrons emitted are bent in a circle of radius $r$ by a magnetic field of flux density $B_0$. Find $\frac{1}{\lambda_0}$,where $\lambda_0$ is the threshold wavelength.

  • A
    $\frac{1}{\lambda_0} = \frac{1}{\lambda} - \frac{B_0^2 e^2 r^2}{2mhc}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{\lambda_0} = \frac{1}{\lambda} + \frac{B_0^2 e^2 r^2}{2mhc}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{\lambda_0} = \frac{1}{\lambda} - \frac{B_0^2 e^2 r^2}{mhc}$
  • D
    None of these
