X rays with a wavelength of 73.0 pm are directed onto a gold foil and eject tightly bound electrons from atoms of the foil. The ejected electrons then move in circular paths of radius r in a region of uniform magnetic field with magnitude B. For the fastest of the ejected electrons, the product Br is equal to 2.46 x 104T-m. Find (a) the maximum kinetic energy of those electrons and (b) the work done in removing them from the gold atoms.
