A beam of light of wavelength \(\lambda\) falls on a metal having work function \(\phi\) placed in a magnetic field \(B\). The most energetic electrons, perpendicular to the field, are bent in circular arcs of radius \(R\). If the experiment is performed for different values of \(\lambda\), then the \(B^2 \, \text{vs} \, \frac{1}{\lambda}\) graph will look like (keeping all other quantities constant).
A function is a relation between a set of inputs and a set of permissible outputs with the property that each input is related to exactly one output. Let A & B be any two non-empty sets, mapping from A to B will be a function only when every element in set A has one end only one image in set B.
The different types of functions are -
One to One Function: When elements of set A have a separate component of set B, we can determine that it is a one-to-one function. Besides, you can also call it injective.
Many to One Function: As the name suggests, here more than two elements in set A are mapped with one element in set B.
Moreover, if it happens that all the elements in set B have pre-images in set A, it is called an onto function or surjective function.
Also, if a function is both one-to-one and onto function, it is known as a bijective. This means, that all the elements of A are mapped with separate elements in B, and A holds a pre-image of elements of B.
