Radiometry

Radiometry is the science of measurement of optical radiation at any wavelength, based simply on physical measurements. Radiant energy cannot be measured quantitatively directly, but must always be converted into some other form such as thermal, electrical, or chemical. Radiometry applies over the entire electromagnetic spectrum, not just the optical region.
