A metal having a work function of 2.5 eV is illuminated with white light that has a continuous wavelength band from 400 nm to 700 nm.
 
  For which one of the following ranges of the wavelength band in this white light are photoelectrons NOT produced? (h = 6.626  10-34 J  s,
  c = 3.00  108 m/s, 1 eV = 1.60  10-19 J)
  A) 500 nm to 700 nm
  B) 400 nm to 560 nm
  C) 500 nm to 560 nm
  D) 400 nm to 500 nm
  E) 560 nm to 700 nm

Question 2

In a photoelectric effect experiment, electrons emerge from a copper surface with a maximum kinetic energy of 1.10 eV when light shines on the surface. The work function of copper is 4.65 eV.
 
  Which one of the following values is closest to the wavelength of the light?
  (h = 6.626  10-34 J  s, c = 3.00  108 m/s, 1 eV = 1.60  10-19 J)
  A) 220 nm
  B) 150 nm
  C) 360 nm
  D) 1100 nm

There used to be a metric calendar, as well as metric clocks. The metric calendar, or "French Republican Calendar" divided the year into 12 months, but each month was divided into three 10-day weeks. Each day had 10 decimal hours. Each hour had 100 decimal minutes. Due to lack of popularity, the metric clocks and calendars were ended in 1795, three years after they had been first marketed.

The use of salicylates dates back 2,500 years to Hippocrates's recommendation of willow bark (from which a salicylate is derived) as an aid to the pains of childbirth. However, overdosage of salicylates can harm body fluids, electrolytes, the CNS, the GI tract, the ears, the lungs, the blood, the liver, and the kidneys and cause coma or death.
