  2. Photometry (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    Luminous intensity (photometric) and radiant intensity (radiometric) In photometric quantities every wavelength is weighted according to how sensitive the human eye is to it, while radiometric quantities use unweighted absolute power. For example, the eye responds much more strongly to green light than to red, so a green source will have ...

  3. Radiometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiometry

    Comparison of photometric and radiometric quantities. Radiometry is a set of techniques for measuring electromagnetic radiation, including visible light.Radiometric techniques in optics characterize the distribution of the radiation's power in space, as opposed to photometric techniques, which characterize the light's interaction with the human eye.

  4. List of optics equations - Wikipedia

    Visulization of flux through differential area and solid angle. As always ^ is the unit normal to the incident surface A, = ^, and ^ is a unit vector in the direction of incident flux on the area element, θ is the angle between them.

  5. Radiance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiance

    Comparison of photometric and radiometric quantities. Radiance is useful because it indicates how much of the power emitted, reflected, transmitted or received by a surface will be received by an optical system looking at that surface from a specified angle of view.

  6. Luminous flux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_flux

    Comparison of photometric and radiometric quantities Luminous flux (in lumens) is a measure of the total amount of light a lamp puts out. The luminous intensity (in candelas) is a measure of how bright the beam in a particular direction is.

  7. Light intensity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_intensity

    Luminous intensity, a photometric quantity measured in lumens per steradian (lm/sr), or candela (cd) Irradiance, a radiometric quantity, measured in watts per square meter (W/m 2) Intensity (physics), the name for irradiance used in other branches of physics (W/m 2) Radiance, commonly called "intensity" in astronomy and astrophysics (W·sr −1 ...
