2. Spectral radiance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_radiance

   For propagation of light in a vacuum, the definition of specific (radiative) intensity implicitly allows for the inverse square law of radiative propagation. [12] [14] The concept of specific (radiative) intensity of a source at the point P 1 presumes that the destination detector at the point P 2 has optical devices (telescopic lenses and so forth) that can resolve the details of the source ...

3. Spectral power distribution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_power_distribution

   Mathematically, for the spectral power distribution of a radiant exitance or irradiance one may write: =where M(λ) is the spectral irradiance (or exitance) of the light (SI units: W/m 2 = kg·m −1 ·s −3); Φ is the radiant flux of the source (SI unit: watt, W); A is the area over which the radiant flux is integrated (SI unit: square meter, m 2); and λ is the wavelength (SI unit: meter, m).

4. Photometry (optics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photometry_(optics)

   Spectral radiance Specific intensity L e,Ω,ν [nb 6] watt per steradian per square metre per hertz W⋅sr −1 ⋅m −2 ⋅Hz −1: M⋅T −2: Radiance of a surface per unit frequency or wavelength. The latter is commonly measured in W⋅sr −1 ⋅m −2 ⋅nm −1. This is a directional quantity. This is sometimes also confusingly called ...

5. Luminance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminance

   Luminance is a photometric measure of the luminous intensity per unit area of light travelling in a given direction. [1] It describes the amount of light that passes through, is emitted from, or is reflected from a particular area, and falls within a given solid angle .

6. Radiant intensity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_intensity

   Radiant intensity is used to characterize the emission of radiation by an antenna: [2], = (), where E e is the irradiance of the antenna;; r is the distance from the antenna.; Unlike power density, radiant intensity does not depend on distance: because radiant intensity is defined as the power through a solid angle, the decreasing power density over distance due to the inverse-square law is ...

7. Reflectance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflectance

   The spectral directional reflectance in frequency and spectral directional reflectance in wavelength of a surface, denoted R Ω,ν and R Ω,λ respectively, are defined as [1], =,,,,, =,,,,, where L e,Ω, ν r is the spectral radiance in frequency reflected by that surface;
