Radiant flux received by a surface per unit area. This is sometimes also confusingly called "intensity". Spectral irradiance Spectral flux density: E e,ν [nb 3] watt per square metre per hertz W⋅m −2 ⋅Hz −1: M⋅T −2: Irradiance of a surface per unit frequency or wavelength. This is sometimes also confusingly called "spectral intensity".
Several sources [2] [12] [3] replace nσ λ with k λ r, where k λ is the absorption coefficient per unit density and r is the density of the gas. The absorption coefficient for spectral flux (a beam of radiation with a single wavelength, [W/m 2 /μm]) differs from the absorption coefficient for spectral intensity [W/sr/m 2 /μm] used in ...
L is used here instead of B because it is the SI symbol for spectral radiance. The L in c 1L refers to that. This reference is necessary because Planck's law can be reformulated to give spectral radiant exitance M(λ, T) rather than spectral radiance L(λ, T), in which case c 1 replaces c 1L, with
Irradiance Flux density: E e [nb 2] watt per square metre W/m 2: M⋅T −3: Radiant flux received by a surface per unit area. This is sometimes also confusingly called "intensity". Spectral irradiance Spectral flux density: E e,ν [nb 3] watt per square metre per hertz W⋅m −2 ⋅Hz −1: M⋅T −2: Irradiance of a surface per unit ...
The relative spectral flux density is also useful if we wish to compare a source's flux density at one wavelength with the same source's flux density at another wavelength; for example, if we wish to demonstrate how the Sun's spectrum peaks in the visible part of the EM spectrum, a graph of the Sun's relative spectral flux density will suffice.
The radiation pressure again can be seen as the transfer of each photon's momentum to the opaque surface, plus the momentum due to a (possible) recoil photon for a (partially) reflecting surface. Since an incident wave of irradiance I f over an area A has a power of I f A , this implies a flux of I f / E p photons per second per unit area ...
