In physics, and in particular as measured by radiometry, radiant energy is the energy of electromagnetic [1] and gravitational radiation. As energy, its SI unit is the joule (J). The quantity of radiant energy may be calculated by integrating radiant flux (or power ) with respect to time .
In radiometry, radiant energy density is the radiant energy per unit volume. [1] The SI unit of radiant energy density is the joule per cubic metre (J/m 3).
The energy of an individual photon is quantized and proportional to frequency according to Planck's equation E = hf, where E is the energy per photon, f is the frequency of the photon, and h is the Planck constant. Thus, higher frequency photons have more energy.
Radiant energy emitted, reflected, transmitted or received, per unit time. This is sometimes also called "radiant power", and called luminosity in Astronomy. Spectral flux: Φ e,ν [nb 3] watt per hertz: W/Hz: M⋅L 2 ⋅T −2: Radiant flux per unit frequency or wavelength. The latter is commonly measured in W⋅nm −1. Φ e,λ [nb 4] watt ...
Solar energy is the radiant energy from the Sun's light and heat, which can be harnessed using a range of technologies such as solar electricity, solar thermal energy (including solar water heating) and solar architecture.
Low emissivity (low e or low thermal emissivity) refers to a surface condition that emits low levels of radiant thermal (heat) energy. All materials absorb, reflect, and emit radiant energy according to Planck's law but here, the primary concern is a special wavelength interval of radiant energy, namely thermal radiation of materials. In common ...
The majority of the radiant energy released at operational temperatures is transmitted through the thin quartz tube but some of that energy is absorbed by the silica quartz glass tube causing the temperature of the tube wall to increase, this causes the silicon-oxygen bond to radiate far infrared rays.
Φ e,ν r is the spectral radiant flux in frequency reflected by that surface; Φ e,ν i is the spectral radiant flux in frequency received by that surface; Φ e,λ r is the spectral radiant flux in wavelength reflected by that surface; Φ e,λ i is the spectral radiant flux in wavelength received by that surface.
