John Tyndall (August 2, 1820 - December 4, 1893) was an Irish physicist and medical educator. Beginning in the late 1850s, Tyndall studied the action of radiant energy on the constituents of air. He was the first to correctly measure the relative infrared absorptive powers of the gases nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor, carbon dioxide, ozone and methane.
