DIFRAKTSIOON Frolova Karina Aro Aleksei 11B Difraktsioon on füüsikaline nähtus, mille korral laine paindub ümber väikeste takistuste või levib väikesest avast välja. Arvuti genereeritud intensiivsuse muster, mis on tingitud difrakteerumisest läbi ruudukujulise ava. Sarnane nähtus esineb siis, kui valguslaine levib läbi aine, millel on levimissihis muutuv murdumisnäitaja, või kui helilaine levib läbi muutliku akustilise impedantsiga keskkonna. Difraktsioon esineb kõiki tüüpi lainete puhul, k.a helilainete, vee lainete, elektromagnetlainete, nagu näiteks nähtava valguse ja raadiolainete korral. Ka füüsilistel objektidel on lainelised omadused (aatomtasandil), difraktsioon esineb ka mateeria korral ning seda uuritakse kvantmehaanika seaduspärasustega. Itaalia teadlane Francesco Maria Grimaldi võttis kasutusele sõna difraktsioon ja oli esimene, kes t...
Tess Guilty or not? I read Thomas Hardy's book called Tess of the D'Urbevilles. The book is about young woman's misfortunes. Those misfortunes lead to many desperate actions but Tess is not quilty of them. The first misadventure which leads to others is when Tess has to go to the market. Tess accidentally kills the horse. She feels guilt but in my opinion it was not her fault because after all it was her father's task not Tess'. Her father could not go because he was too drunk. However, Tess feels like she is responsible and that she has to do something good for her family. In order to compensate her mistake she goes to work for a rich relative in a bird farm. There happens another awful thing she gets pregnant from her so called cousin Alec D' Urberville. Yet again it is not Tess' fault because her mother has not taught to Tess essential things about life and men. What makes it even worse is that Tess d...

The Renaissance Between 14th and 16th century in Europe From French word rebirth It was an age of growth in Europe. New, powerful city states emerged. A new middle class had more and more money to spend. Great artists, writers and thinkers lived during this time. During the Middle Ages many people who lived in the countryside worked on the land that they got from the noblemen. In return, they were protected by them Between the middle and the end of the 14th century, the plague, also called "Black Death" killed almost half of Europe's population. It spread most rapidly in the larger cities where many people lived. This led to economic depression. When the plague slowly decreased in the 15th century, the population in Europe began to grow. A new middle class emerged --bankers, merchants and trades people had a new market for their services. People became wealthier and had more than enough money to spend. They bega...

Tolerance is the ability to be fair and understanding to people whose ways and opinions are different from one's own. It seems like a good and challenging streak to have, but the question is, how far we can go with it. I would say not very far. More and more media and public encourage us to be tolerant to homosexuals and their lifestyle and many countries have actually made their marriages legal and tolerate them. Also, there have been numerous discussions on whether they should have the right to have, adopt and raise children. To me, it is absolutely unacceptable because this is not normal. They could have good facilities for bringing up children and lots of love to give them, but in my eyes it just is not suitable for a child. How could a child live a normal life having to live with two mothers or two fathers? It may sound very intolerant and rude from my part, but I do not think any child could live like that and have a normal...
THE PRE-RAPHAELITES The PRB was formed in 1848 in London and it was an association of painters, poets, critics, sculptors. It was founded by three Royal Academy students who wanted to brake free from the academic art and return to the moral and descriptive truthfulness that they felt was gone from art. (The Royal Academy of Arts is and institution with a purpose to promote the creation, enjoyment and appreciation of the visual arts through exhibitions, education and debate.). The founders were William Hunt, John Millais, Dante Rossetti. Because of the fact that they were all students they were also very young- the oldest one, Hunt, was 21. They were soon joined by William Rossetti(critic), James Collison(painter), Frederic Stephens (critic), Thomas Woolner(sculptor). The three youthful Pre-Raphaelites deliberately challenged the established view of art, drawing up a manifesto of their intentions and publishi...
Füüsika areng ja teadlased Esitlus Christian Mõttus 10K5 Tutvustus Füüsika on loodusteadus, mis uurib loodust kõige üldisemas mõttes: kõigi mateeriavormide üldisi omadusi. Füüsikud uurivad aine ja jõudude vastasmõju.Füüsika on täppisteadus: nii füüsikaline katse kui ka teooria (loodusseaduste formuleeringud) rajanevad matemaatikal.Antiikajal võidi nimetada füüsikaks kogu loodusteadust (vanakreeka sõna physis tähendab 'loodust'), iseseisvaks teaduseks sai ta alles 16.17. sajandil. Tähtis ajajärk füüsika arengus oli 19. sajandi lõpp ja 20. sajandi algus. Siis loodi kvantteooria ja relatiivsusteooria tänapäeva füüsikalise maailmapildi alused. Füüsika harude seas on mehhaanika, akustika, termodünaamika, elektrodünaamika, optika, aatomifüüsika, tahkisefüüsika, tuumafüüsika, elementaarosakeste füüsika ja gravitatsioonivälja teooria (üldrelatiivsusteooria). Füüsika ja teiste loodusteaduste piirialadele on tekkinud ast...

The history of movies starts in early 1900s. American inventor Thomas Edison, began making short motion pictures at the turn of the century. In 1903, a movie called "The Great Train Robbery" was the first one to tell the whole story. Movies were silent at this time and orchestras played music in theathers, so movies would have sound.

Jane Austen "Pride & Prejudice" Pride and Prejudice, first published on 28 January 1813, has consistently been Jane Austen's most popular novel. Austen sold the copyright for Pride and Prejudice to Thomas Egerton. Egerton published the first edition of Pride and Prejudice in three hardcover volumes in January. The tone is light and a little humoristic. Pride and Prejudice is a humorous story of love and life among English gentility. At first the book was called "First impressions" and this gives a better expression to the requests of the author, than the later heading. People meet, do not understand each other and communication does not offer joy either. So this is contrary to love at first sight. It is a tale of love and values in the class-conscious England of the late 18th century. It is a story of five sisters and their lives. It is a story through the dangerous, exciting and loving feelings of the characters. The Bennets five ...

DAMIEN HIRST Thomas Brand Damien Steven Hirst sündis 7. juunil 1965 Bristolis. Ta on Inglismaa kunstnik ja ärimees, kuid huvitub ise samuti kunstiteoste kogumisest. YBAs ehk Young British Artists on grupp, kuhu kuulub ka kõige kuulsamaks grupiliikmeks saanud Damien Hirst. Grupp on kuulus selle poolest, et 1990ndatel oldi Suurbritannia kunstivaldkonna eestvedajateks. Rahvusvaheliselt tunnustatud Damien Hirst on andmete kohaselt tänapäeva Suurbritannia kunstnike hulgast kõige rikkam. Tema jõukust hinnati aastal 2010 Sunday Times Rich List’i järgi 215 miljoni kanti, mis on kunstniku kohta väga edukas. Nagu juba mainitud, siis sündinud on Damien Hirst Inglismaa linnakeses Bristol. Üles kasvas ta aga Leedsis. Isa oli mehaanik ning ema üldsegi nõustaja, seega ei osatud seoseid luua, miks Damien kunstivaldkonnas nii edukas oli. Ta õppis mitmetes koolides, mille h...

Valguse dispersiooniks nim aine absoluutse murdumisnäitaja sõltuvust valguse lainepikkusest (dispersio hajumine). Avastas Newton 1666. aastal. Spekter: Spekter näitab, millistest komponentidest liitvalgus koosneb. Prisma ei muuda valget valgust, vaid lahutab selle koostisosadeks (sest prisma murdumisnäitaja oleneb valguse lainepikkusest). Mida väiksem on lainepikkus, seda rohkem kalduvad valguslained murdumisel esialgsest suunast kõrvale. Kõige rohkem kaldub kõrvale violetne, kõige vähem punane valgus. Aine murdumisnäitaja on seda suurem, mida väiksem on valguse lainepikkus. Kõigi ainete murdumisnäitaja väheneb valguse lainepikkuse suurenedes (erinevus 12%). Dispersioon esineb ka valguse läbiminekul paralleelsest klaasplaadist, kuid siis väljuvad erivärvilised valguslained kõik ühes suunas ja meie silm neid ei erista. Valguse interferentsiks nim valguslainete liitumist, mille tulemusena valguse intensiivsus mingis ruumipu...

XVIII sajandi kirjandus: LUULE SATIIRILINE LUULE 18. sajandi algupoolel levis eeskätt satiiriline1 luule. Inglise luules esindab seda suunda Alexander Pope. Seda viljelesid näiteks ka „Gulliveri reiside” autor J. Swift ja prantsuse filosoof Voltaire, kes läks groteskses2 ja pilavas poeemis „Orléans’i neitsi” Jeanne d’Arci ümber tekkinud ebausu oreooli kallale. Pühak annab Jeanne’ile kaks käsku: päästa Prantsusmaa ja alles hoida oma neitsilikkus. Esimese ülesandega saab neiu hakkama, aga teisega kauniste sõjameeste keskel mitte. (Nt Schiller püüdis oma samanimelise draamaga Jeanne d’Arci taas ülendada.) 18. saj kunstis avaldunud rokokoo3 ilminguid leidus ka kirjanduses. Rokokoo on väljenduslaad, kus teadlikult rõhutati kergemeelsust ja mängulisust, teosed olid enamasti humoristlik-iroonilised4 või satiirilise kallakuga. Sageli loobuti kerguse saavutamiseks klassikalistest luulevormidest. Rokokoo hilise suuna esindajaks võib pidada root...

Rosetta kivi Kivi leidis Napoleoni armee sõdur. Rosette'i kivi leiti 1799. a. Egiptuses Napoleoni õpetlaste poolt ja sellel on kirjad kolmes keeles: hieroglüüfides, demootsese kirjas ja kreeka keeles. See aitas lahendada hieroglüüfide mõistmise saladuse. Hieroglüüfide mõistmine aitab tõendada Piibli usaldusväärsust. R o s e t t e ´i k i v i .Tõeliselt teadusliku aluse sai hieroglüüfide desifreerimine alles siis, kui uurijad said oma kasutusele Rosette'i bilingvilise kivi (kaksikkeelse vana- egiptuse ja vana-kreeka raidkirja). 1798. aastal sõitis Napoleon oma sõduritega Egiptusse. See oli sõjaretk, aga Napoleon vedas endaga Egiptusesse kaasa tervet hulka teadlasi (ajaloolasi, arheolooge) ja kunstnikke. See oli teaduslik komisjon. Õpetlased suutsid palju korda saata; nende töö tulemused on kirjas mitmeköitelises raamatus "Description de l''Egypte?. Lisaks kogusid nad suure hulga muinasesemeid, mis jõudsid 1801.aastal Inglismaa valdu...

Funk on afroameerika tantsumuusika, milles on esiplaanil rütm. Harmoonia ja meloodia on vähem tähtsad. Rütm on punkteeritud, palju kasutatakse sünkoope. Rütmilistele kitarri-, vaskpilli- ja basskäikudele ning trummiaktsentidele lisandub gospellik laulmisstiil. Funk tekkis 1960 aastate keskosa lõpul, kui afroameerika muusikud sulandasid soul'i, soul jazzi ja R&B ühtseks ja rütmiliseks uueks muusikastiiliks. Tuntumad esitajad on Tower of Power, The Commodores, James Brown jt. Fungi muusika oli aeglane, seksikas, vaba ja tantsitav. Fungi selged afroameerika muusikalise väljenduse iseloomujooned tulenevad Lääne Aafrika muusikatraditsioonidest ja leiavad oma varaseimad väljendused hingelistest, töö või kiidu hüüetest, gospelist ja blues'ist. Funk muusika on souli, soul jazzi ja R&B segu. Funk muusika hõlmab enda alla ka Electro muusika (mis on kombineeritud elektroonilise muusikaga ja funk'iga. See on sisuliselt nagu Funk ning säilitab F...
1. Fat Margareta - 16. Cent. Tallinn's most impressive defensive structures, the Great Coastal Gate (Suur Rannavärav) and Fat Margaret's Tower. They were built not only to defend the city from the seaward side of town, but also to impress any visitors arriving via the harbour. Fat Margareta used to be a prison. It is a town wall's building. Now it's home to the Estonian Maritime Museum, which provides a detailed look at the nation's seafaring past. 2. The Great Coastal Gate - with the Viru Gates, are the last of six gates that controlled access to the town in Medieval times. 3. Kolm Õde - a hotel. In 2003, three of Tallinn's splendid merchant houses, built in 1362, were renovated and united to create The Three Sisters, which now offers modern amenities with great design and a backdrop of medieval history. 4.

HISTORY PRECOLONIAL AMERICA Before the first Europen settlers came, various groups of interrelated cultures lived there. Such as the Tingits, the Nootka, the Yurok and many more. Indigenous people mostly fished, because there vas a vast stock of fish. But they also relied upon agriculture, hunting and trapping. They built stable villages, and lived either in birchcovered wigwams or in rectangular longhouses. Later the indigenous people were called indians, by Christopher Columbus who thought that he had reached to India. COLONIAL AMERICA As far as people know were the Vikings first European settlers to visit America. but in 1492, an Italian sailor called Christopher Columbus reached southern America when he was looking for a sea route from Europe to India. He is called to be the man who discovered America. In 1607 two very different groups of English people came to America. a group of farmers began a...

"I am become death, the destroyer of worlds." So said the physicist Robert Oppenheimer, who helped to invent the atomic bomb. The two bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 killed around 200,000 Japanese people. No other species has ever wielded such power, and no species could. The technology behind the atomic bomb only exists because of a cooperative hive mind: hundreds of scientists and engineers working together. The same unique intelligence and cooperation also underlies more positive advances, such as modern medicine. But is that all that defines us? In recent years, many traits once believed to be uniquely human, from morality to culture, have been found in the animal kingdom (see part one in this two-part series). So, what exactly makes us special? The list might be smaller than it once was, but there are some traits of ours that no other creature on Earth can match. No animal can get close to the devastatio...
The origins of American literature The first Americans were explorers and settlers, adventurers and idealists who crossed the ocean in search of new opportunities or to escape the poverty and intolerance. Their writings were matter-of-fact accounts of life in America, which explained colonisation to Englishmen back in the homeland. An example of this form of writing is John Smith's A True Relation of Virginia, which is widely recognized to be the first example of Am lit. The early years of colonisation produced a mass of utilitarian writings including biographies, accounts of voyages, diaries, sermons, pamphlets. Much of the material addressed the problems of Church and State. There were few examples of fiction, poetry or drama. Anne Bradstreet of Massachusetts published some lyrical poems of high literary quality (1650) and Edward Taylor, who was born in England but lived in Boston, wrote some poetry in the style of John ...

Puudus trüki ja sõnavabadus, rahva haridustase oli väga madal. (x7) 6. Saksa va...
American Art Revision Materials Colonial Period Portraiture. The first typically American paintings were illustrated maps but painting remained scarce during C17. There were 4 reasons: settlers came from backgrounds where art was unusual, Protestant attitudes was averse to imagery and painting, the English were not yet distinguished in visual arts and religious art was non-existent. The colonial period is almost entirely limited to portraiture (deemed as `useful' by settlers). These first paintings were made by limners and artisans without formal training and were based on what was popular in England during the Tudors. The paintings are technically unskilled, strongly patterned, flat and linear. Spanish painting in America was mostly religious. In C18, painting was a luxury and necessitated wealth that had by then become available. Portraitures remained at the forefront because the rich could thusly display their status and becaus...

Füüsika läbi ajaloo Füüsika eellugu Kronoloogia Veel kümme tuhat aastat tagasi ei muretsenud inimesed looduse ehituse ja ülesannete pärast. Alatasa liikvel olev küttide hõim oli osa loodusest ja tema suhtedki loodusega piirnesid poolreflektoorsetel reageeringutel hetkeolukorrale. Mälu ja tähelepanelikkus aitasid märgata ka lihtsamaid põhjuslikke seoseid, aga neist järelduste tegemiseks oli vaja vähemalt kahte asja: aega ning püsivust. See juhtus, kui inimesed hakkasid põlde harima. Paikne eluviis muutis tähelepanekud stabiilsemaks; põllutööde perioodilisus jättis aega mõtisklusteks ja vestlemiseks. Inimene märkas, et ta elab ajas ja ruumis, et tal on kindel asukoht ja tema maatükil kindel suurus. Ta märkas, et külvata ei saa ükskõik millal, kuna saagi suurus sõltub suuresti õigest külviajast. Et määrata aega, tuli ...
1. The Jacobean masque Elizabethan one nation culture, now cultural polarisation between the new courtly culture and the rest of the country. Court in cultural isolation. Ben Jonson. King and courtiers were close to universally recognised ideal types (conflict with the reality). Mysticism. Emergence of perspective view, stage machinery, artificial light, revolution. The stage cast the monarch in the focal point (the lines of perspective of the stage met there. Inigo Jones. Masque an educative vehicle, towards classical antiquity and architecture. Tide towards absolute monarchy. Masque – linked poetry and moral philosophy into art. Music, dance, poetry, lavish illusionistic scenic display to express the doctrines of divine kingship. Great impact. Like gods come down to earth. 2. The Caroline masque Charles decided on subject matter, and acted and danced in masques. Now the regal divinity even more obvious. Ben Jonson.
