✦ Synopsis

In the umbral atmosphere the depth dependence of the opacity due to the vibration rotation bands of various abundant molecules in the wavelength region 1 txm to 10 Ixm has been calculated. In the higher layers of the umbral atmosphere, the molecular opacity seems to dominate the opacity due to the negative hydrogen ion.
