Infrared Absorption by Water as a Function of Temperature of Radiator

A. H. Taylor

Water transmits visible radiation but absorbs radiation in the infrared portion of the spectrum. The transmission of water to the total radiation from a source therefore depends upon the spectral distribution of the radiation. This transmission has been measured for tungsten lamps at various filament temperatures, and also for other well known sources of radiation.
