Light intensity information


Several measures of light are commonly known as intensity:

  • Radiant intensity, a radiometric quantity measured in watts per steradian (W/sr)
  • 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/m2)
    • Intensity (physics), the name for irradiance used in other branches of physics (W/m2)
  • Radiance, commonly called "intensity" in astronomy and astrophysics (W·sr−1·m−2)
