...source that emits white light containing a vast mixture of different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation. The wavelength of interest is then selected using a monochromator (“mono” meaning one and “chromate” meaning color) and an additional exit slit. The separation of white light into different colors (wavelengths) is known as diffraction. The selected light then reaches the sample and depending on how the light interacts with the chemical compound of interest, some of the light is absorbed and some passes straight through. By comparing the amount of light entering the sample (P0) with the amount of light reaching the detector (P), the spectrometer is able to tell how much light is absorbed by the sample. Define all of the bold words in the previous paragraph. (4 points) Spectrometer: an optical instrument that can detect spectral lines. It measures it’s wavelength and intensity. Quantitatively: something that is part of the metric system, can be given a numerical value. Electromagnetic radiation: radiation that includes radio waves, visible light, x-rays and gamma rays, where the magnetic and electric fields vary at the same time. Monochromator: an optical instrument that transmits a mechanically selectable narrow band of wavelengths of light or other radiation which is chosen from a wider range of wavelengths that are available at the input. Diffraction: a process where a beam of light or another system of waves is spread out because...

...This is only an attempt to answer such a question as whether this is the best of all possible worlds and construct a more complete comprehension of it’s meaning. The law of opposition creates the potential for this to be the best of all worlds. To imagine another world, which surely must exist among the billions of stars and infinite expanse, is enthralling. In looking at possibilities, it seems a little too naïve to rule out the existence of something better. Where two things exist, one is bound to be greater than the other in some dimension, especially when there is a determining judge. Who can be the judge of worlds? If it is a god that judges between one type or form and another than there is much more to consider. Can a perfect and absolute being create imperfection? Or does a world of perfection include a spectrum of opposites? The answer to the latter question is answered by Pangloss in response to a Familiar of the Inquisition “For the Fall and curse of man necessarily entered into the system of the best of worlds” (Voltaire 11). Before the Fall of Man there was no sin or fallacy in the world, and everything was “good”, but good cannot be good without the contrast of evil. Humans only understand happiness when they have experienced sorrow. Take Candide for example: when he murders the brother of Cunegonde he first feels despair, but later when that action saves his life he calls it the goodness of nature. “If I had not been so lucky as to run Miss Cunegonde’s brother...

...All this,and Heaven by Shinique Smith is a beautiful and unique art piece in the Denver Art museum. It uses many different textiles from blankets, to books, and even a bed frame. Smith is known for her are work with graffiti style paintings and calligraphy but this one is a bit different than the rest of her artwork. What does the title mean All this and, heaven? I considered this for a few moments as I stared at it from the stairs it was hanging over.The title sounds almost mocking. As if to say I get all this bedding to myself and after that it's all peaches and cream because it's heaven here. And why is it hanging from the ceiling of the museum instead of on the floor? Is the women stretching herself to reach for something or like hanging herself because she gets so much but it still does not make her happy? The hanging from the ceiling creates an illusion of reaching for something like the art piece was a woman and it's trying to desperately grab ahold of something....

...Sam Roberts uses rhyming, imagery, and metaphors in “We’re All In This Together” to discuss how Canadians are the glue that hold our country together. He explains, in order for the future to be brighter Canadians must remain united. Robert’s opening stanza represents how the majority of Canada can live life in a repetitive manner, not knowing the consequences of their actions. When Robert says “It’s a such a drag, you’re dressed in rags, everybody waving these faded flags…”, it’s an example ordinary people are closing their eyes to opportunities that could benefit Canada’s future. Roberts comments on how most of humanity is greedy and fails to notice how others are suffering. “...More, more, we only want more, it’s not what we came for, it’s...

...Disguise is the main precursor to all of the Dramatic Comedy observed in Twelfth Night. How far do you agree with this? In twelfth night written by Shakespeare there are many elements of comedy. In the play disguise is seen as a crucial element of comedy used by different characters with different purposes. Disguise in the play causes confusion, complications, and Mix-ups. It could be argued that disguise may not be the main reason for all the dramatic comedy. Shakespeare uses a wide range of different styles of comedy which include comic duos, physical Appearances, use of language etc. These also have a big comedic role in twelfth night. In my essay I will be discussing whether disguise is the main precursor or whether there are other elements which are comedic? Firstly Disguise is seen as changing your physical appearance for many reasons. Characters in Twelfth Night have used disguise for their own use such as Viola and Feste. Viola at the beginning of the play is seen to be shipwrecked and is separated from her twin brother Sebastian. In the early 1600 where the play has been set women were not seen as important and they were underestimated because they were seen weaker than men. Viola believes that if she disguises up as a man and asks the man that governs the country Illyria which they have shipwrecked in if she could have a job. The man who owns Illyria is Duke Orsino. “Conceal me what i am and be my aid for such disguise as haply shall i become”. Disguise has been used...

...Myths exist in all aspects of culture. In this Discussion, you will look at gender roles — generally accepted assumptions about males and females. Read more about Erving Goffman. Source: Erving Goffman. Retrieved from http://people.brandeis.edu/~teuber/goffmanbio.html Read more about Mary Pipher. Source: Mary Pipher, PhD. Retrieved from http://www.marypipher.net/ Sociologist Erving Goffman observed social expectations for males from American contemporary life. In 1963, he enumerated a list of characteristics that seemed to typify the ideal male during that time. Keep in mind that Goffman was recording observations of this time and not stating a personal opinion. In your response, consider whether the time period in which he made this statement (1963) is important. Why or why not? As you read these conclusions, consider if you still see these features as relevant and valued by American society. In The Goffman Reader (Lemert, 1997), Erving Goffman states, While some of these norms, such as sightedness and literacy, may be commonly sustained with complete adequacy by most persons in the society, there are other norms such as those associated with physical comeliness, which take the form of ideals and constitute standards against which almost everyone falls short at some stage in his life. For example, in an important sense there is only one complete unblushing male in America: a young, married, white, urban, northern, heterosexual, Protestant, father, of college education...

...recognize marriage in many different and unconventional ways. For example, Phebe and Silvius have a marriage based on unrequited love. Phebe and Silvius have a partnership that can be interpreted as a more pessimistic view on marriage; thus, opposing the idea of idealistic marriage. Much alike Romeo from Romeo and Juliet, Silvius is written as a “Petrarchan lover,” – a man who is hopelessly in love with a woman who does not share the same feelings. This can be shown through quotations such as, “Say that you love me not, but say not so in bitterness.” Their marriage is, in many ways, far from ideal. Silvius is destined to spend the rest of his days with a woman who does not love him, while Phebe is destined to spend the rest of hers with a man whom she does not love herself. Their pairing seems to be the most negative of all the marriages as Phebe only agrees to marry him due to having to reject Ganymede. Rosalind also says, “Sell when you can: you are not for all markets,” implying Phebe has little choice when selecting a husband. This highlights a fundamental problem with the idea of marriage: settling out of fear of being left unmarried. Shakespeare brings an interesting problem to the spotlight, questioning our reasons for getting married and questioning the validity of those reasons. The marriage between Phebe and Silvius most definitely does not present an idealistic view of marriage. In contrast, Orlando and Rosalind share a marriage any hopeless romantic would strive for...

...C.L. Barber argued that comedy is all about pleasure and merrymaking. How do you react to this idea in your study of Much Ado About Nothing? Much Ado About Nothing is heavily influenced by the inclusion of C.L. Barber’s viewpoint on comedy, that pleasure and merrymaking should be a focal point in festive comedy. Shakespeare utilizes witty mockery, satirical conversations and the Saturnalian reversal of roles to emphasize festivity and merrymaking as a main theme in his comedy as this ensures the audience can make fun and laugh at the situations displayed. But, as the audience we cannot forget that Shakespeare used this idea of pleasurable entertainment to disguise the underlying Machevellian plots of Don John and Borachio to disrupt the fairy tale type of tenor the characters could have led. Therefore, further into Much Ado About Nothing, discussions about whether Shakespeares play conforms to C.L. Barber’s argument or to what extent is C.L. Barber’s perspective disputed are risen. Initially, from reading the script of Much Ado About Nothing, the reader can respond to C.L. Barber’s argument with firm disagreement as many other genres are used to heighten the effect of comedy in the play, although C.L. Barber’s argument was specifically aimed at comedies, whilst Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing is classed as a dramatic comedy, where tragedy is also hung in the balance in the climactic parts of the play. The purpose of Shakespeare’s plays in general and especially Much Ado...

...TOK Essay "When the only tool you have is a hammer, all problems begin to resemble nails.” (Abraham Maslow) How might this apply to ways of knowing, as tools, in the pursuit of knowledge? Have you ever wondered why and how your logic becomes restricted once confronting a problem? Abraham Maslow once stated “I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail”, which I believe could be understood as a statement questioning the method diverse human beings follow to execute any of their tasks. In this essay, integrating the functions of human intuition, language vs. sense perception and reasoning in contrast with mathematics, ethics and emotions, will help providing an answer for “To what extent should we trust our fundamental skills into resolving all types of complications”. Further more, by staying in correlation with Maslow’s statement, we should come to conclusion that a human being isn’t always conscious of his actions and that it takes high self-control and creativity when in need of solving a problem. As far as I can see, encountering a problem that necessitates an approval and a final decision to be made usually requires the usage of intuition. In other words, the process in the making of a decision cannot start before a problem has actually been set. The type of problem worth being investigated, must have first been lead by an intuition, which subsequently triggers the last decision;...

...Stock Market in Bangladesh [pic][pic][pic][pic][pic][pic][pic][pic][pic] [pic] Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) dates back to 1952 when the local government deemed it necessary to establish a stock exchange because Pakistani shares and securities were prohibited from being bought or sold on the Calcutta Stock Exchange (CSE). Up until this point, Pakistan had been trading quite profitably on the CSE and had no need to establish their own stock exchange department. In response to the prohibition the Provincial Industrial Advisory Council made the decision to establish a stock exchange in Eastern Pakistan. Initially it was suggested that instead of creating an independent stock exchange, a branch of the Karachi Stock Exchange be opened at Dhaka. However this proposal was very unpopular with representatives from East Pakistan who felt that it was necessary to create a completely new stock exchange in Dhaka. This is what eventually happened with different members of the stock exchange purchasing membership cards at the price of RS.2000. There were two proposed locations for the stock exchange – Dhaka and Chittagong – but in the end it was decided that Dhaka was the most suitable location. An organizing committee was established to further set up the DSE and invitations were sent out to determine what sort of interest there would be in the proposed stock exchange. The response was overwhelming and on the 7th of July 1953 a meeting was held with roughly 100 interested persons attending...

...onflicts of Law and Equity in The Merchant of Venice William Carlos Williams once said that “Shakespeare is the greatest university of them all” (qtd. in Kornstein xiii). This is especially true with respect to the law: a dedicated scholar can discover a wealth of information on legal issues in Shakespeare’s works. Measure for Measure and The Merchant of Venice are, of course, explicitly “legal” in content, but more than twenty of the plays have some form of trial scene (Kornstein xii). Virtually all of the plays are tangentially concerned with some aspect of the law; at the very least, Shakespeare uses complex legal jargon to elicit a laugh. When one of the title characters in The Merry Wives of Windsor tosses out a line like: If the devil have [Falstaff] not in fee simple [absolute possession], with fine and recovery [as of an entailment], he will never, I think, in the way of waste [despoiling], attempt us again (IV.ii.197-99, emph. added) the law students who made up a large portion of his contemporary audience must have roared with laughter, even if few others got the joke. It is therefore not surprising that the interdisciplinary study of law and Shakespeare has grown into a fully recognized field, with major law schools offering advanced degrees. Such interdisciplinary examination has opened for us a new vista of understanding. The Merchant of Venice “has spawned more commentary by lawyers than any other Shakespeare play” (Kornstein 66). One can easily...

...Tannen states: "...all communication is more or less crosscultural." What does she mean by this statement? Why is it important to approach communication among people as an exercise in understanding possible cross-cultural differences among them? Illustrate your points with examples. Tannen states in her book, page 14, “all communication is more or less cross-cultural:” What she means is that the culture in which a person grew up has a great influence on how this person will behave among others. Culture is the characteristics and knowledge of a particular group of people, defined by everything from language, religion, cuisine, social habits, music, arts, it serves as the patterns of behaviors and interactions among people in the same culture, it is also how people interact and understand what are learned by socialization. Communicate with others encounters many barriers implemented by the family and society, i.e. culture which we grew up. As mentioned by Tannen “We learn to use language as we grow up, and growing up in different parts of the country, having different ethnic, religious, or class backgrounds, even just being male or female— all result in different ways of talking, all due to the culture each person absorbed growing up. And diverse in culture causes differences in conversational style which might result in individually minor but cumulatively overwhelming misunderstandings and disappointments. Despite good intentions and good character all around— our own...

...competitive days, people are expected to move around places and it’s not likely that the local language is the same as the mother tongue of an individual. So it’s quite challenging to understand the local culture and customs for a new individual. This is where famous languages acquired during school days plays a big role. Secondly, it helps a child growth if he/she is introduced with the various culture of the world. Learning a language is the first step to know one’s culture. Thirdly, schools these days are focusing a lot on learning international languages in a lot of developed countries. This practice is quickly picking up in the developing countries too. This trend paves a path for the student to go out on foreign exchange programs to other countries. Gives them great opportunity to have an exposure to unique cultures whilst in student life. Sometimes, children might get carried away with foreign languages and start to look down on their own mother tongues. Hence some language veterans argue that foreign languages should be taught in school only at a age when they are mature enough to understand this situation. Overall, early languages should be introduced in the primary school curriculum. What is more important is to continue this idea to secondary schools as well. Therefore, children learning foreign languages help in the development of the country, economically and...
