Aerospace | In radiometry, a measure of the intrinsic radiant intensity emitted by a radiator in a given direction. It is the irradiance (radiant flux density) produced by radiation from the source upon a unit surface area oriented normal to the line between source and receiver, divided by the solid angle subtended by the source at the receiving surface. It is assumed that the medium between the radiator and receiver is perfectly transparent; therefore, radiance is independent of attenuation between source and receiver.If the radiant source is a perfectly diffuse radiator (that is, emits exactly according to Lambert law), then its radiance is equal to its emittance per unit solid angle. The radiance of a light source is termed luminance (formerly, brightness). (references) |
Electrical Engineering | The quotient of the radiant flux leaving, arriving at, or passing through an element of surface at this point and which is propagated in directions defined by an elementary cone containing the given direction, by the product of the solid angle of the cone and the area of the orthogonal projection of the element of surface on a plane perpendicular to the given direction.

Geological | Measure of the energy radiated by an object. In general, radiance is a function of viewing angle and spectral wavelength and is expressed as energy per solid angle. (references) |
