 All RF Cafe Quizzes make great fodder for
employment interviews for technicians or engineers - particularly those who are
fresh out of school or are relatively new to the work world. Come to think of it,
they would make equally excellent study material for the same persons who are going
to be interviewed for a job. Bonne chance, Viel Glück, がんばろう,
buena suerte, удачи, in bocca al lupo, 행운을 빕니다,
ádh mór, בהצלחה, lykke til, 祝你好運.
Well, you know what I mean: Good luck!

Note: Some material based on books have quoted passages.
 This
quiz is based on the information presented in the book, "Quantum Mechanics for Nanostructures," by Vladimir V.
Mitin, Dmitry I. Sementsov, Nizami Z. Vagidov. Published by Cambridge University Press. Note:
Some of these books are available as prizes in the monthly
RF Cafe Giveaway.
