RadianceUnits Type ⤴
In radiometry, radiance is the radiant flux emitted, reflected, transmitted or received by a surface, per unit solid angle per unit projected area. Radiance is used to characterize diffuse emission and reflection of electromagnetic radiation, or to quantify emission of neutrinos and other particles. This is a directional quantity. Historically, radiance is called "intensity" and spectral radiance is called "specific intensity". [Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiance]
