A hydrogen atom makes a downward transition from the n = 20 state to the n = 5 state. Find the wavelength of the emitted photon.
 
  The lowest level energy state of hydrogen is -13.6 eV.
  (h = 6.626  10-34 J  s, 1 eV = 1.60  10-19 J, c = 3.00  108 m/s)
  A) 2.43 m
  B) 1.46 m
  C) 1.94 m
  D) 2.92 m

Question 2

An electron is in an infinite square well that is 2.6 nm wide. What is the smallest value of the state quantum number n for which the energy level exceeds 100 eV? (h = 6.626  10-34 J  s, mel = 9.11  10-31 kg, 1 eV = 1.60  10-19)
 
  A) 43
  B) 44
  C) 45
  D) 42
  E) 41

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
