1. What is the photoelectric effect?

Answer: The photoelectric effect is the phenomenon where electrons are emitted from a material
when it absorbs photons of sufficient energy.

2. What is the quantum theory of light?

Answer: The quantum theory of light, also known as wave-particle duality, states that light can
behave as both particles (photons) and waves.

3. What is the de Broglie wave equation?

Answer: The de Broglie wave equation describes the wave-like properties of particles, including
electrons, and relates the wavelength of a particle to its momentum.

4. What is a wave function in the context of quantum mechanics?

Answer: In quantum mechanics, a wave function describes the state of a particle or system and
contains information about its probability distribution.

5. Explain Bohr's atomic energy levels.

Answer: Bohr's atomic energy levels describe the discrete energy states in which electrons can exist
within an atom. These energy levels are quantized.

6. What are supramolecular interactions?

Answer: Supramolecular interactions refer to non-covalent interactions between molecules, such as


hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions, and van der Waals forces.

7. Discuss protein-protein interactions.

Answer: Protein-protein interactions involve the binding or association of two or more protein
molecules, which play crucial roles in various biological processes and signaling pathways.

8. Explain protein-nucleic acid interactions.

Answer: Protein-nucleic acid interactions involve the binding between proteins and nucleic acids
(DNA or RNA), which are essential for processes like gene expression, DNA replication, and RNA
translation.

9. How do lipid/membrane-protein interactions occur?


Answer: Lipid/membrane-protein interactions involve the association between proteins and the lipid
bilayer of cell membranes, playing important roles in cell signaling and membrane integrity.
