Dante and Virgil in Hell (1850) William-Adolphe Bouguereau The image depicts a scene from Inferno‚ a classical poem written by Dante Alighieri in the 1300’s in which Dante is led through the levels of Hell by the dead poet Virgil. In this particular moment‚ Dante is witnessing the horrors of the wrathful in Hell. Clearly‚ Dante is the figure cloaked in beige and covering his mouth in utter disbelief. His eyes‚ however‚ are not directed at the two fighting men. He is staring off towards the

The speed of light (meaning speed of light in vacuum)‚ usually denoted by c‚ is a physical constant important in many areas of physics. Its value is 299‚792‚458 metres per second‚ a figure that is exact since the length of the metre is defined from this constant and the international standard for time.[2] This speed is approximately 186‚282 miles per second. It is the maximum speed at which all energy‚ matter‚ and information in the universe can travel. It is the speed of all massless particles and

Andrea Moudarres Italian 110 4 November 2012 Midterm: Ugolino In Canto 33 of Dante’s Inferno‚ the Pilgrim enters Antenora and sees the sinner‚ Ugolino‚ frozen in a hole and feasting on the head of his nemesis‚ Ruggieri. Although the reason for his damnation in the realm of Antenora is the sin of political treachery against Pisa‚ there seems to be something else he grieves and feels the need to explain to Dante: while Ruggieri locks Ugolino and his sons in a tower with no food‚ Ugolino bites his

Speed of Light Determining the speed of light is something that has been a very long and trying process. No one scientist could determine such a thing. Galileo was the first noted scientist to attempt experimentation on the speed of light. Other famous scientist‚ such as‚ Roemer‚ Foucault‚ Fizeau‚ Michelson‚ and Einstein added their own discoveries to the collage of information gathered through the years. Every scientist performed their experiments differently based on the knowledge and ability

Light is just one portion of the various electromagnetic waves flying through space. The electromagnetic spectrum covers an extremely broad range‚ from radio waves with wavelengths of a meter or more‚ down to x-rays with wavelengths of less than a billionth of a meter. Optical radiation lies between radio waves and x-rays on the spectrum‚ exhibiting a unique mix of ray‚ wave‚ and quantum properties. At x-ray and shorter wavelengths‚ electromagnetic radiation tends to be quite particle like

energy can reduce the impact of pollution and global warming issue. “Liter of Light” operates with the theory of solar energy with using several materials. Solar energy is one type of popular renewable energy. Solar energy‚ radiant light and heat from the sun‚ has been harnessed by humans since ancient times using a range of ever-evolving technologies. This technologies use the sun’s energy and light to provide heat‚ light‚ hot water and electricity for homes‚ business and industry. Current renewable

Light Emission and Absorption - Active Reading When atoms absorb energy‚ electrons can jump to higher energy orbitals. When the electrons move back to their original configurations‚ that energy is given off as light! Travel to the website linked below and take Cornell notes for each section. Write some big ideas in the left column and supporting details in the right column. Make sure to answer any questions given as well. Make sure you play and watch every animation and click every link

His neighbours‚ intrigued by the idea‚ soon started following suit‚ adding the bulbs to their homes in kitchens‚ bathrooms and living areas where electric light was prohibitively expensive and inefficient. The bottle bulb revolution was then further enhanced by The “MyShelter Foundation”‚ which runs a program in the Philippines called “Isang Litrong Liwanag: a Liter of Light”. Based

Essay 1: Light and Color The fascinating properties of light are not all detectable to humans‚ because our reference is mostly limited to what we can see. In order to determine the atomic/molecular composition of a fluid or gas‚ one must consult an emission and absorption spectrum. The properties of this spectrum include also waves‚ which can be any length‚ and define the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. Ranging from gamma rays to radio waves‚ an electromagnetic spectrum includes each
