When a surface is irradiated with light of wavelength 4950 A˚4950 \text{ \AA} , a photocurrent appears which vanishes if a retarding potential greater than 0.6 volt is applied across the phototube. When a second source of light is used, it is found that the critical retarding potential is changed to 1.1 volt. If the photoelectrons (after emission from the source) are subjected to a magnetic field of 10 tesla, the two retarding potentials would a. uniformly increase b. uniformly decrease c. remain the same d. None of these
