The product of exposure time and irradiance or illuminance.

Law relating the illuminance (or irradiance) of a surface to the cosine of the angle, q, between the normal to the surface and the direction of the incident wave.

The law stating that the illuminance (or irradiance) from a point source varies as the inverse square of the distance between the source and the receiver.

Flux per unit solid angle leaving a surface in any direction is proportional to the cosine of the angle between that direction and the normal to the surface. A material that obeys Lambert's cosine...
