Overview

1 steradian is equal to the square of r (the radius of the sphere is taken as the length of one side) of a part a on the spherical surface a The solid angle with respect to the center [sr]. The steradian is an extension of the plane angular radians to a solid.

Although there is a unit for "SI", only the steradian is recognized for the solid angle, whereas the degree is a combination unit in SI.

The name "steradian" was used from about 1875, and it is called stereos (Also the etymology of). The steradian was the 11th CGPM in 1960 Was adopted. It was supposed to be one of SI along with radians, but in 1995 the subsidiary unit was abolished and steradian became dimension 1 (= m2 ⋅ m - 2), ie dimensionless.

From the definition of steradians, the global (area 4 _ π r - 2) is 4 _ π _ steradian (= about 12.566 steradian), the hemisphere is 2 π _ It becomes steradian (= about 6.2832 steradian). Conversely, 1 steradian is 1/4 _ π = about 0.079577 .

The solid angle (steradian) of the cone with half apex angle θ is

2 _ [pi] _ (1 - cos _ [theta] _)

, And the solid angle (steradian) in the range surrounded by latitude δ 1 to _δ _ 2 (radian), longitude _λ _ 1 to _λ _ 2 (radian)

Relationship with squared degree

The relationship with the other unit of solid angle (deg 2) is as follows.

• 1 sr = about 3282.806350012 deg 2
• 1 deg 2 = about 0.00030461741979 sr

application

Stellarian is often used for measurement of.

Etc. are radiated equal in all directions under certain conditions. Under such conditions, the radiant flux per unit area weakens farther from the light source, but the radiant flux per unit solid angle becomes constant irrespective of the distance from the light source. Also, even when completely "radiating equally in all directions", the same thing can be said about in approximation (for example: Naked bulbs, red hot iron pieces). This is the reason why steradian is used to measure radiant flux. In SI, there is every steradian (W / sr) in the unit of. It is also a unit of (cd) in watts per steradian appears in the definition.
