1 Glossary: Absorption Spectrum: results from the ability of pigments to absorb incident electromagnetic radiation. Like the action spectrum, the parameter of interest (light absorbed) is plotted as a function of the wavelength of the radiation.arious chlorophylls and accessory pigments have characteristic absorption spectra. The action spectrum of photosynthesis relates to the relative electron-exciting effectiveness of different wavelengths of light.
Joseph Guillotine had never invented the device. He only proposed to find a mechanical and more human mean to carry death penalty to the National Assembly in 1789. The machine was invented by a surgeon-Antoine Louis-in 1792.
It was used by Algeria, Belgium, Germany, Greece, Italy up to 1875, Luxembourg, Monaco, Switzerland up to 1940, Sweden, Tunisia and Vietnam, which was then called Indo China and was under French control. The Papal States in Italy used the guillotine from 1814 to 1870 for 369 executions.n the 21st of January 1793, it was erected for the first time in the Place de la Revolution for the execution of King Louis XVI, its most famous victim. This was also the place of execution for such famous women as Marie Antoinette and Charlotte Corday.
