Here's a breakdown:
* Irradiance is the power per unit area of electromagnetic radiation (including light).
* It's measured in units of watts per square meter (W/m²).
* The higher the irradiance, the stronger the light.
Other related terms:
* Illuminance: This is a measure of the light falling on a surface that is weighted to account for the sensitivity of the human eye. It's measured in units of lux (lx).
* Radiant flux: This is the total power emitted by a light source, measured in watts (W).
