The second paper on photoelectric effect, contained a revolutionary hypotheses concerning the nature of light. Einstein not only proposed that under certain circumstance's light can be considered as consisting of particles, but he also hypothesized that the energy frequency of the radiation. The formula for this is E = hu, where E is the energy of the radiation. And h is a universal constant known as Planck s constant. And u, is the frequency of the radiation. This offer that the energy contained within a light beam is transferred in individual units. Virtually no one accepted Einstein s proposal.

- 12364: Israfel By Poe, An Analysis
- ... An Analysis "Israfel" is a mesmerizing poem, the beginning of which was first set down by Poe during his days at West Point College.(Allen 233) The poem itself is a direct contrast to Poe's usual poetry, which usually deal with death and dark thoughts or other melancholy, Gothic ideas. Poe's idea of the death of beautiful woman being the most poetical of all topics is here, nowhere to be found.

Besides "Israfel", Poe's other poetry, "To Helen", as well as "Annabel Lee" and others, are virtually unrecognizable to the everyday reader as being works by Edgar Allan Poe. His name is usually associated with his tales of ...
- 12365: Hamlet
- By: Anonymous Hamlet identifies with an adolescent of the 1990s more than he does with the youth of his own time.

Love, control over action, and the ability to overcome depression are just a few ways to prove maturity. It is obvious Hamlet loves Ophelia in his own way . . . the celestial and my souls idol, the most beautified Ophelia . . . (Hamlet. II, ii, 109- 110), but his way is not mature enough to include trust toward his lover. The trust that Hamlet should have given her was the key ...
