Radiant exitance is radiant flux emitted per unit area ====================================================== **Radiant exitance**, or **radiant emittance** is the radiant flux emitted by a surface per unit area. **Notation:** #. The subscript :math:`e` stands for *energetic* to avoid confusion with photometric quantities. **Links:** #. `Wikipedia `__. .. py:currentmodule:: symplyphysics.definitions.radiant_exitance_is_radiant_flux_emitted_per_unit_area .. py:data:: radiant_exitance :attr:`~symplyphysics.symbols.optics.radiant_exitance` of the surface.
