Definition: Radiometer |
RadiometerNoun1. Meter to detect and measure radiant energy (electromagnetic or acoustic). Source: WordNet 1.7.1 Copyright © 2001 by Princeton University. All rights reserved. |
Etymology: Radiometer \Ra`di*om"e*ter\, noun. [Latin expression radius radius -meter: compare to the French expression radiom[`e]tre.]. (Websters 1913) |
| Domain | Definitions |
Aerospace | An instrument for detecting and, usually, measuring radiant energy. Compare bolometer. See actinometer, photometer. (references) |
Literature | Radiometer The name of an instrument invented by Crookes for measuring the mechanical effect of radiant energy. It is like a miniature anemometer, and is made to revolve by the action of light, the cups of the anemometer being replaced by discs coloured white on one side and black on the other, and the instrument is enclosed in a glass globe from which the air has been exhausted, so that no heat is transmitted. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
Mining | Essentially a heat-flow meter used to measure long-wave radiation as well as solar radiation. It can be used both for daytime and nighttime measurements and to measure the net heat transfer through a surface. (references) |
Science | An instrument that quantitatively measures electromagnetic radiation. Weather satellites carry radiometers to measure radiation from snow, ice, clouds, bodies of water, the Earth's surface, and the sun. (references) |
Solar | An instrument that measures radiance, or the radiation emitted by an object. (references) |
