aRadiometry is concerned with the treatment of light as energy.
bSometimes called “total energy.” Note that we assume opaque radiant surfaces, so that 0 ≤ θ ≤ π/2. cThe instantaneous amount of radiant energy contained in a unit volume of propagation medium. dPower per unit area leaving a surface. For a perfectly di using surface, Me = πLe.

aThe definitions of these quantities vary in the literature. Those presented here are common in meteorology and astrophysics. Note particularly that the ambiguous term specific is taken to mean “per unit frequency interval” in the case of specific intensity and “per unit mass per unit frequency interval” in the case of specific emission coe cient. bIn radio astronomy, flux density is usually taken as S = 4πJν .
cAssuming a refractive index of 1. dOr “mass absorption coe cient.” eOr “Schwarzschild’s equation.”
fUnder conditions of local thermal equilibrium (LTE), the source function, Sν , equals the Planck function, Bν (T ) [see Equation (5.182)].
