It will be noted that about thirty times as much energy is absorbed in the total eye per lumen of tungsten light as per lumen of light from a black body at 5000° C. As Luekiesh 13030 TRANSMISSION OF RADIANT ENERGY says: "This same ratio would hold approximately for sunlight if it were not for the moisture in the atmosphere whi...ch absorbs much of the infra-red rays before they reach the eye. This is perhaps fortunate considering the enormously greater intensities of illumination en^ countered in daylight. " For instance, according to F. E. Fowle (Astrophysical Jour. 1913) the amount of percipitable water existing in the form of atmospheric water vapor averages about 0. 7 cm. The marked difference between the action of water and the eye toward the infra-red on the one hand and the ultra-violet on the other hand is noteworthy.
