1843 J. F. Daniell Introd. Study Chem. Philos. (ed. 2) viii. 181 The colours of natural objects are compounded of several rays which are transmitted or re-radiated after the absorption or extinction of others.

1853 H. Twining Elem. Picturesque Scenery 4 It is necessary to assume that the rays of light are decomposed, and that certain portions only of them are re-radiated, while others are absorbed.

1913 F. W. Raynes Heating Syst. xv. 184 The arrangement and grouping of the heating surfaces affect the radiant heat transmitted, in that a more or less percentage is rendered ineffective through being simply re-radiated from surface to surface.

1952 Archit. Rev. 111 18/2 Any type of screen will itself be heated by the sunshine falling upon it, and will re-radiate this heat into the building.
