Joseph Lister is the surgeon who introduced new principles of cleanliness which transformed surgical practice in the late
1800s. Today, we take it for granted that a surgeon will guard a patient's safety by using aseptic methods. But this was not
always the case and until Lister introduced sterile surgery, a patient could undergo a procedure successfully only to die from
a postoperative infection known as 'ward fever". He read Pasteur's work on microorganisms and decided to experiment using
one of Pasteur's proposed techniques, that of exposing the wound to chemicals. He chose dressings soaked with carbolic acid
to cover the wound and the rate of infection was vastly reduced.
Lister's lowered infection rate was life saving and his principles have since been adopted worldwide. Lister is now known as the
"father of antiseptic surgery." Which of these is NOT an application of Lister's work?

Consider hydrogen in an excited state n = 5n=5 that emits photons to reach the ground state. there are various possible transitions other than straight to the ground state that can occur; for example, it can drop to the n = 3n=3 state followed by the n = 3n=3 to the ground state transition. which of the possible transitions will result in the emission of a photon in the visible region?
