Dans les corps ou les milieux isotropes, rien ne distingue les différentes directions autour d'un point quelconque : les ondes lumineuses se propagent à la même vitesse, la conductibilité calorifique est la même, ainsi que la résistivité électrique, etc. Cela provient du fait que la répartition des atomes ou des molécules n'y présente pas d'ordre à longue distance qui donnerait une certaine symétrie et privilégierait une direction ou plusieurs. 3, record 14, French, - isotrope

Types of fire-resistant glasses.... They can be classified into two categories :heat-transmitting glass and heat-insulating glass. The basic difference is that heat-transmitting glass will contain flames and inflammable gas for a short period of time, but does not prevent the transmission of heat to the other side of the glazing while fire-insulating glass will not only contain flames and inflammable gas for a longer period of time but will also prevent the transmission of flames, heat and smoke to the other side of the glazing. 2, record 15, English, - heat%2Dtransmitting%20glass
