Radiometry vs. Photometry
Radiometry [Units = Watts] Physical measurement of electromagnetic energy
Photometry and Colorimetry [Lumen] Sensation as a function of wavelength Relative perceptual measurement
Brightness [Brils] Sensation at different brightness levels Absolute perceptual measurement Obeys Steven’s Power Law

The Invention of Photometry
Bouguer’s classic experimentCompare a light source and a candleIntensity is proportional to ratio of distances squared
Definition of a candelaOriginally a “standard” candleCurrently 550 nm laser w/ 1/683 W/sr1 of 6 fundamental SI units
Radiant Intensity
Definition: The radiant (luminous) intensity is the power per unit solid angle emanating from a point source.

Irradiance
Definition: The irradiance (illuminance) is the power per unit area incident on a surface.
Sometimes referred to as the radiant (luminous) incidence.
