quotient of the radiance at a surface element of a medium in a given direction and the irradiance on the medium where Le is radiance and Ee is irradiance Note 1 to entry: The bi-directional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) is similar to the radiance coefficient except that it is defined for directional incident radiation. Note 2 to entry: The radiance coefficient is expressed in steradian to the power minus one (sr−1). Note 3 to entry: This entry was numbered 845-04-70 in IEC 60050-845:1987.
