Define intensity of radiation on the basis of photon picture of light. Write its SI unit.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

1st Part: The intensity of radiation is the energy transmitted in uni time through photons across a unit area normal to the photon beam.
2nd Part: Its SI unit is `J.m^(-2).s^(-1)` or `W.m^(-2)`
