In an experiment different wavelengths of light, all able to eject photoelectrons, shine on a freshly prepared (oxide-free) zinc surface. Which statement is true?
 a. The number of photoelectrons emitted per second is independent of the intensity of the light for all the different wavelengths.
  b. The number of photoelectrons emitted per second is directly proportional to the frequency for all the different wavelengths.
  c. The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted is directly proportional to the frequency for each wavelength present.
  d. The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons has a linear relationship with the frequency for each wavelength present.
  e. The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is proportional to the intensity of the light and independent of the frequency.

Question 2

What is the maximum kinetic energy (in eV) of a photoelectron when a surface, whose work function is 5.0 eV, is illuminated by photons whose wavelength is 400 nm?
 a. 3.1
  b. -1.9
  c. 1.9
  d. 0
  e. 1.2

Before a vaccine is licensed in the USA, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviews it for safety and effectiveness. The CDC then reviews all studies again, as well as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians. Every lot of vaccine is tested before administration to the public, and the FDA regularly inspects vaccine manufacturers' facilities.

The human body's pharmacokinetics are quite varied. Our hair holds onto drugs longer than our urine, blood, or saliva. For example, alcohol can be detected in the hair for up to 90 days after it was consumed. The same is true for marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, heroin, methamphetamine, and nicotine.

Though the United States has largely rejected the metric system, it is used for currency, as in 100 pennies = 1 dollar. Previously, the British currency system was used, with measurements such as 12 pence to the shilling, and 20 shillings to the pound.
