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.
[É¡ijÉtin]) is an apparatus designed for carrying out executions by beheading. It consists of a tall, upright frame in which a weighted and angled blade is raised to the top and suspended. The condemned person is secured at the bottom of the frame, with his or her neck held directly below the blade.he guillotine was used for the last time in West Germany in 1949 (in the execution of Richard Schuh) and in East Germany in 1966 (in the execution of Horst Fischer). The guillotine continued to be used in East Germany by the Stasi between 1950 and 1990 for secret executions.
