Definition
Visible Radiance is the intensity of visible radiation.
In radiometry, a measure of the intrinsic radiant intensity
emitted by a radiator in a given direction. Radiance is
measured in watts per square meter per steradian.
Visible Radiation refers to electromagnetic radiation
capable of evoking the sensation of vision in a normal human
observer. The indefinite range of wavelengths of visible
radiation is between 400 and 700 nm. Radiance is a radiometric
term for the rate at which radiant energy in a set of
directions confined to a unit solid angle around a particular
direction is transferred across unit area of a surface (real or
imaginary) projected onto this direction.
