What is the relationship between the light emitted by an atom and the energies of the electrons in the atom?
 
  A) The larger the atom, the greater the number of electrons and therefore the greater the frequency of a light.
  B) The energies of the electrons of an atom are directly proportional to the wavelength of light emitted and therefore inversely proportional to the frequency of the light emitted.
  C) The greater the frequency of a photon of light, the greater the energy packed into that photon.
  D) The light emitted by an atom is a function of its nuclear density and its ability to absorb and reflect various wavelengths of light from the electromagnetic spectrum.

Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made. The mixture of cocaine, saliva, and resin numbed the site enough to allow hours of drilling.

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.
