$A$ metal surface having work function '$W_{0}$' emits photoelectrons when photons of energy '$E$' are incident on it. The electron enters a uniform magnetic field '$B$' in a perpendicular direction and moves in a circular path of radius '$r$'. Then '$r$' is equal to (where '$m$' and '$e$' are the mass and charge of the electron,respectively).

$A$ metal surface is illuminated by light of two different wavelengths $248 \ nm$ and $310 \ nm$. The maximum speeds of the photoelectrons corresponding to these wavelengths are $u_1$ and $u_2$,respectively. If the ratio $u_1: u_2 = 2: 1$ and $hc = 1240 \ eV \ nm$,the work function of the metal is nearly: (in $eV$)

If the maximum velocity with which an electron can be emitted from a photocell is $4 \times 10^8 \, cm/s$,the stopping potential is ................ $V$ (mass of electron $= 9 \times 10^{-31} \, kg$).
