A metal having a work function of 2.5 eV is illuminated with white light that has a continuous wavelength band from 400 nm to 700 nm.
 
  For which one of the following ranges of the wavelength band in this white light are photoelectrons NOT produced? (h = 6.626  10-34 J  s,
  c = 3.00  108 m/s, 1 eV = 1.60  10-19 J)
  A) 500 nm to 700 nm
  B) 400 nm to 560 nm
  C) 500 nm to 560 nm
  D) 400 nm to 500 nm
  E) 560 nm to 700 nm

Question 2

In a photoelectric effect experiment, electrons emerge from a copper surface with a maximum kinetic energy of 1.10 eV when light shines on the surface. The work function of copper is 4.65 eV.
 
  Which one of the following values is closest to the wavelength of the light?
  (h = 6.626  10-34 J  s, c = 3.00  108 m/s, 1 eV = 1.60  10-19 J)
  A) 220 nm
  B) 150 nm
  C) 360 nm
  D) 1100 nm

Though methadone is often used to treat dependency on other opioids, the drug itself can be abused. Crushing or snorting methadone can achieve the opiate "rush" desired by addicts. Improper use such as these can lead to a dangerous dependency on methadone. This drug now accounts for nearly one-third of opioid-related deaths.

Anesthesia awareness is a potentially disturbing adverse effect wherein patients who have been paralyzed with muscle relaxants may awaken. They may be aware of their surroundings but unable to communicate or move. Neurologic monitoring equipment that helps to more closely check the patient's anesthesia stages is now available to avoid the occurrence of anesthesia awareness.
