  "term": "Spectral distribution",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The relative amount of radiant energy or power as a function of wavelength or frequency for a given light source or detector. This describes how the energy is distributed across the electromagnetic spectrum. For a light source, it indicates the intensity at each wavelength, while for a detector, it shows its sensitivity across different wavelengths.",
