radiant exitance, \(M\)

Synonym: radiant emittance
https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.R05041
Radiant power, P, emitted at all wavelengths by an element of surface containing the source point under consideration divided by the area of the source. SI unit is W m-2.
Notes:
  1. Mathematical definition: M = dP/dS. If the @R05046-2@ P is constant over the surface area considered, M = P/S.
  2. Equivalent to the integration of the @R05046-3@ leaving a source over the solid @A00346@ and over the whole @W06659@ range. Mathematical definition: M = ∫(λ).Mλ.⁢dλ, where M λ is the @S05825@ at @W06659@ λ.
  3. Same as spherical radiant @E02264@. Formerly called radiant emittance.
