t at 100°, but it is found that the temperatureindicated by the thermometer varies with the nature of the plate. Thismethod gives a means of determining, not the absolute reflecting power of abody, but its power relatively to that of some body taken as a standard ofcomparison. For from what has… … Fig. 408 420 On Heat [427- if in the above experiment a plate of glass causes the temperature to rise i°and a plate of lead 6°, it follows that the quantity of heat reflected by thelatter is six times as great as that reflected by the former. For the heatemitted by the source remains the same, the…
