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

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.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
