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

IgA antibodies protect body surfaces exposed to outside foreign substances. IgG antibodies are found in all body fluids. IgM antibodies are the first type of antibody made in response to an infection. IgE antibody levels are often high in people with allergies. IgD antibodies are found in tissues lining the abdomen and chest.
