PX282 - C5 - definitions
-
consider ray of light:
- has a specific intensity,
- specific because it is in a specific wavelength range,
- specific because it is in a specific wavelength range,
- at an angle,
, with the -axis
- has a specific intensity,
-
depends on the direction, the location, and the wavelength of light -
the flux,
, which is the energy rate in a direction per unit area, in the z-direction:
- it can also be thought of as the energy received per unit steradian:
- for blackbody radiation,
