A former non-SI unit of luminance?

The stilb, symbol sb, was a former non-SI unit of luminance that measured the brightness of a surface illuminated by a light source. It has since been replaced by the SI unit, the candela per square meter (cd/m2).

What is the difference between radiance and luminance?

Radiance is the amount of light energy emitted or reflected from a surface per unit solid angle, regardless of where it is being viewed from. Luminance, on the other hand, is the amount of light energy emitted or reflected from a surface per unit area as seen from a given viewing angle. In simpler terms, radiance is the total light output, while luminance is how bright it appears to an observer.


What is an apostilb?

An apostilb is a specific unit of luminance, the luminance of a perfectly diffusing emitting light at the rate of pi^-1 candela per square metre.


What is photo luminance?

Luminance is a photometric measure of the luminous intensity per unit area of light travelling in a given direction. It describes the amount of light that passes through or is emitted from a particular area, and falls within a given solid angle. The SI unit for luminance is candela per square metre (cd/m2). Photo-Luminance is a technique through which we can find energy band gap Eg of a material generally a semiconductor. The sample is exposed to light and the photons emitted by the sample give the required information.
