An energy of 13.6 eV is needed to ionize an electron from the ground state of a hydrogen atom. Selecting the longest wavelength that will work from the those given below, what wavelength is needed if a photon accomplishes this task?
 a. 60 nm
  b. 80 nm
  c. 70 nm
  d. 90 nm
  e. 40 nm

Question 2

Carla and Jenny are arguing about whether or not it is possible to escape the gravitational field of the Earth. Carla shows Jenny a system where mass m is rE (not the Earth's radius) distant from Earth and rP (not planet P's radius) distant from planet P, the mass being on the line connecting the Earth and planet P. Carla states that the mass m has escaped if FP on m = -FE on m. Jenny disagrees. Which one, if either, is correct, and why?
 a. Carla, because the total gravitational force on m is zero at that point.
  b. Carla, because there is no gravitational force from Earth on m at that point.
  c. Carla, because there is no gravitational force on m from Earth when r > rE.
  d. Jenny, because there is a gravitational force on m from Earth no matter how great the distance from the Earth.
  e. Jenny, because the gravitational force from the Earth can only be blocked by a body that is larger than the Earth.

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made. The mixture of cocaine, saliva, and resin numbed the site enough to allow hours of drilling.

Hip fractures are the most serious consequences of osteoporosis. The incidence of hip fractures increases with each decade among patients in their 60s to patients in their 90s for both women and men of all populations. Men and women older than 80 years of age show the highest incidence of hip fractures.
