Photons of wavelength $\lambda$ are incident on a metal. The most energetic electrons ejected from the metal are bent into a circular arc of radius $R$ by a perpendicular magnetic field having a magnitude $B$. The work function of the metal is (where,symbols have their usual meanings)

Assertion : Photosensitivity of a metal is high if its work function is small.
Reason : Work function $= hf_0$ where $f_0$ is the threshold frequency.

$A$ beam of light has two wavelengths of $4972\,\mathring{A}$ and $6216\,\mathring{A}$ with a total intensity of $3.6 \times 10^{-3}\,\text{W/m}^2$ equally distributed among the two wavelengths. The beam falls normally on an area of $1\,\text{cm}^2$ of a clean metallic surface of work function $2.3\,\text{eV}$. Assume that there is no loss of light by reflection and that each capable photon ejects one electron. The number of photoelectrons liberated in $2\,\text{s}$ is approximately:

Light of wavelength '$\lambda$' which is less than threshold wavelength is incident on a photosensitive material. If incident wavelength is decreased so that emitted photoelectrons are moving with some velocity, then the stopping potential:

Light from the Paschen series of a hydrogen atom is able to eject photoelectrons from a metal. Then the work function of the metal is:
