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

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

The use of salicylates dates back 2,500 years to Hippocrates's recommendation of willow bark (from which a salicylate is derived) as an aid to the pains of childbirth. However, overdosage of salicylates can harm body fluids, electrolytes, the CNS, the GI tract, the ears, the lungs, the blood, the liver, and the kidneys and cause coma or death.
