When light of wavelength $300 \; nm$ falls on a photoelectric emitter,photoelectrons are liberated. For another emitter,light of $600 \; nm$ wavelength is sufficient for creating photoemission. What is the ratio of the work functions of the two emitters?

  • A
    $1:2$
  • B
    $2:1$
  • C
    $1:4$
  • D

$A$ beam of light of wavelength $\lambda$ falls on a metal having work function $\phi$ placed in a magnetic field $B$. The most energetic electrons,moving perpendicular to the field,are bent in circular arcs of radius $R$. If the experiment is performed for different values of $\lambda$,then the $B^2$ vs. $\frac{1}{\lambda}$ graph will look like (keeping all other quantities constant):
