X rays with a wavelength of 71 pm are directed onto a gold foil and eject tightly bound electrons from the gold atoms. The ejected electrons then move in circular paths of radius r in a region of uniform magnetic field `vecB`. For the fastest of the ejected electrons, the product Br is equal to `1.88 xx 10^(-4)` T.m. Find (a) the maximum kinetic energy of those electrons and (b) the work done in removing them from the gold atoms.
