radiant power, P

Power emitted, transferred or received as radiation. SI unit is J s −1 = W.
Notes:
  1. Mathematical definition: P = d Q / d t. If the radiant energyQ is constant over the time interval, P = Q / t.
  2. In radiometry, flux (Φ) is used with the same units as P. The symbol Φ is reserved for quantum yield in photochemistry. Therefore, the use of flux (Φ) is not recommended.
