  A) 4F
  B) 2F
  C) F
  D) F/2
  E) F/4

Question 2

An electron is confined in a harmonic oscillator potential well. A photon is emitted when the electron undergoes a 31 quantum jump.
 
  What is the wavelength of the emission if the net force on the electron behaves as though it has a spring constant of 9.6 N/m? (mel = 9.11  10-31 kg, c = 3.00  108 m/s, 1 eV = 1.60  10-19 J, h = 1.055  10-34 J  s, h = 6.626  10-34 J  s)
  A) 290 nm
  B) 150 nm
  C) 190 nm
  D) 580 nm

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.

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.
