A photon of energy E ejects a photoelectron from a metel surface whose work function is `phi_(0)`. If this electron enters into a unifrom magnetic field of induction B in a direction perpendicular to the field and describes a circular path of radius r, then the radius r, is given by, (in the usual notation)

A

`sqrt((2m(E-W_0))/(eB))`

B

`sqrt(2m (E-W_0)eB)`

C

`sqrt((2e(E-W_0))/(mB))`

D

1/(eB)`sqrt((2m(E-W_0))`
