Now, those emitted by bodies at a relatively low temperature—the human body, for example—are of much greater wave-length, and do not impress phosphorescent matter.
Or, celles émises par les corps à température relativement basse, le corps humain par exemple, sont beaucoup plus longues et n'impressionnent pas les matières phosphorescentes.
