The light extinction method was developed based on the works of Piere Bouger, August Beer, and Johann Heinrich Lambert (1760). Bouger observed for the first time that the light intensity of a candle decreases when it passes trough a transparent medium and appointed the length and the medium property as the main parameter to explain the light extinction. The correlation of absorbance and light path was proposed by Lambert. Finally, Beer concluded that absorbance is also proportional to the…

normally get into debts leading them to embezzle money and forge checks to cover their debts. Not being able to pay their debts will make most pathological gamblers stressed because it can lead to physical damage to them.

These three reasons is exactly why I somewhat agree that the treaty of Versailles did more harm than it…

when water is mixed with salt the specific heat value drops. In other words, it takes less energy to raise the temperature of the salt water by 1K than pure water. This means that the salt water heats up faster and eventually gets to its boiling point first. The heat capacity of NaCl has been found to be higher than that of MgCl2 but both lower than water’s specific heat capacity (Ernest, 2015). The heat capacity of the solution can be simply estimated using the formula (Haslego, 2010):…

Archaeological Anthropology Question 1: First Appearances of Religion When we think of religion, we often are reminded or churches or temples, morality, and an all-powerful, all-knowing, and benevolent being often referred to as a God, Goddess, or in some forms of recent religions, multitudes of the formers.
