Spectral irradiance

Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-011129

The radiant power incident on a surface per unit area, per unit wavelength interval. It quantifies the distribution of radiant power across different wavelengths at a specific point in space. This quantity is typically expressed in units of watts per square meter per nanometer (W m-2 nm-1).
