Diathermancy and athermancy. — What becomes of radiations that strike a body
depends largely upon the character of the body. If the nature of the body is such
that its molecules can accept the motion of the ether, the undulations of ether are

Diathermancy and Athermancy — Transmission of Thermal Rays. —
Diathermancy is the term used to express the power which bodies have of
transmitting heat, and bears the same relation to radiant heat that transparency
docs to light.

may be interposed between the source of heat and the mouth of the cone. The

... according to Professor Magnus, a stratum of air or oxygen an inch and a half in
thickness (the distance of his thermometer from his source of heat) is able,

What are diathermancy and atherni ancy ? The power which bodies have of
transmitting heat is called di- athennancy, analogous to transparency in light. The
power of stopping radiant heat is athermancy, and corresponds to opacity in light.

Tn other words, the athermancy of the air varies with its relative humidity. The
nearer it is to that state in which it begins to deposit cloud or fog, the more
opaque is it to dark heat, and it is this, and not merely the absolute quantity of the
vapour ...

by night, plant-life would be destroyed, and the earth would be uninhabitable. It
should be stated, however, that recent investigations cast some doubt on the
athermancy of aqueous vapour, and even seem to show that it is as
diathermanous ...
