In a photocell the plates PP and QQ have a separation of 5 cm, which are connected through a galvanometer without any cell. Bichromatic light of wavelengths 4000 A˚4000 \text{ \AA} and 6000 A˚6000 \text{ \AA} are incident on plate QQ whose work-function is 2.39 eV. If a uniform magnetic field BB exists parallel to the plates, find the minimum value of BB for which the galvanometer shows zero deflection.
