Irradiance. In radiometry, irradiance is the radiant flux received by a surface per unit area. The SI unit of irradiance is the watt per square metre (W⋅m −2 ). The CGS unit erg per square centimetre per second (erg⋅cm −2 ⋅s −1) is often used in astronomy. Irradiance is often called intensity, but this term is avoided in radiometry ...
M T−3. In radiometry, radiosity is the radiant flux leaving (emitted, reflected and transmitted by) a surface per unit area, and spectral radiosity is the radiosity of a surface per unit frequency or wavelength, depending on whether the spectrum is taken as a function of frequency or of wavelength. [1] The SI unit of radiosity is the watt per ...
Radiant flux emitted by a surface per unit area. This is the emitted component of radiosity. "Radiant emittance" is an old term for this quantity. This is sometimes also confusingly called "intensity". Spectral exitance: M e,ν: watt per square metre per hertz W⋅m −2 ⋅Hz −1: M⋅T −2: Radiant exitance of a surface per
Radiant flux emitted, reflected, transmitted or received by a surface, per unit solid angle per unit projected area. This is a directional quantity. This is sometimes also confusingly called "intensity". Radiance of a surface per unit frequency or wavelength. The latter is commonly measured in W⋅sr −1 ⋅m −2 ⋅nm −1.
Radiation pressure. Force on a reflector results from reflecting the photon flux. Radiation pressure (also known as light pressure) is mechanical pressure exerted upon a surface due to the exchange of momentum between the object and the electromagnetic field. This includes the momentum of light or electromagnetic radiation of any wavelength ...

Orders of magnitude (pressure) This is a tabulated listing of the orders of magnitude in relation to pressure expressed in pascals. psi values, prefixed with + and -, denote values relative to Earth's sea level standard atmospheric pressure (psig); otherwise, psia is assumed. Magnitude. Pressure. lbf/in 2 or dB.
