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

A good example of polar molecules can be understood when trying to make a cake. If water and oil are required, they will not mix together. If you put them into a measuring cup, the oil will rise to the top while the water remains on the bottom.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
