4 Radiometry / Photometry 4 Radiometry: science of emission, propagation and detection of radiations Photometry: optical radiometry, i.e. emission, propagation and detection of light OPTICS

5 Radiometry / Photometry 5 Radiometry: science of emission, propagation and detection of radiations Photometry: optical radiometry, i.e. emission, propagation and detection of light based mainly upon: the particle-like (photon) behavior of light the laws of geometrical optics (linear propagation along rays) but wave-like behavior of light (diffraction and interference) must be taken into account in image forming systems, not necessarily in more general lighting systems
