  2. Photon counting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon_counting

    The photon flux per unit area is the photon irradiance if the photons are incident on a surface, or photon exitance if the emission of photons from a broad-area source is being considered. The flux per unit solid angle is the photon intensity. The flux per unit source area per unit solid angle is photon radiance. SI units for these quantities ...

  3. Daily light integral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daily_light_integral

    The daily light integral (DLI) is the number of photosynthetically active photons (photons in the PAR range) accumulated in a square meter over the course of a day. It is a function of photosynthetic light intensity and duration (day length) and is usually expressed as moles of light (mol photons) per square meter (m −2) per day (d −1), or: mol·m −2 ·d −1.

  6. Radiation pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_pressure

    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 striking the surface. Combining this with the above expression for the momentum of a single photon, results in the same relationships between irradiance and radiation pressure described above using ...

  7. Shockley–Queisser limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shockley–Queisser_limit

    Using a more accurate spectrum may give a slightly different optimum. A blackbody at 6000 K puts out 7348 W per square centimetre, so a value for u of 44% and a value of 5.73 × 10 18 photons per joule (corresponding to a band gap of 1.09 V, the value used by Shockley and Queisser) gives Q s equal to 1.85 × 10 22 photons per second per square ...

  8. Shot noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_noise

    Number of photons per pixel increases from left to right and from upper row to bottom row. Shot noise or Poisson noise is a type of noise which can be modeled by a Poisson process . In electronics shot noise originates from the discrete nature of electric charge .

    The energy content of this volume element at 5 km from the station is 2.1 × 10 −10 × 0.109 = 2.3 × 10 −11 J, which amounts to 3.4 × 10 14 photons per (). Since 3.4 × 10 14 > 1, quantum effects do not play a role. The waves emitted by this station are well-described by the classical limit and quantum mechanics is not needed.
