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.
Goring believed criminal behaviour was inherited and could, therefore, be controlled by regulating the reproduction of families who produced mentally defective children. Gabriel Tarde (1843â1904) is the forerunner of modern day learning theorists. Tarde believed people learn fromone another through a process of imitation. Tardeâs ideas are similar to modern social learning theorists who believe that both interpersonal and observed behaviour, such as a movie or television, can influence criminality. Since the pioneering work of people like Tarde and Goring, psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental healthprofessionals have long played an active role in formulating criminological theory.
