Examples of radiometer
radiometer
The Crookes radiometer turns when the MFP is larger than the size of the vanes.

The radiometer, which measures 105 by 150 by 73 millimeters, is currently a prototype.
From the sciencedaily.com
When the Crookes radiometer is placed in sunlight or near heat, the vanes spin round.

The microwave radiometer will measure heat radiation coming from the Moon.

The unit of luminous intensity, candela, is realized by using an absolute radiometer.
From the en.wikipedia.org
This was confirmed when Mariner 2 made radiometer measurements of the temperature in 1962.

- Meter to detect and measure radiant energy (electromagnetic or acoustic)
- A radiometer is a device for measuring the radiant flux (power) of electromagnetic radiation. Generally, the term radiometer denotes an infrared radiation detector, yet it also includes detectors operating on any electromagnetic wavelength.
- In optics, radiometry is the field that studies the measurement of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light. Note that light is also measured using the techniques of photometry, which deal with brightness as perceived by the human eye, rather than absolute power.
- (radiometric) A quantity related to radiation, usually measured in terms of power or power/wavelength. Examples of radiometric units are watts and watts/steradian. Exapmples of radiometric quantities are radiance and irradiance.
- (radiometric) Pertaining to the measurement of geologic time by the analysis of certain radioisotopes in rocks and their known rates of decay.
- (radiometric) Refers to methods of age determination based on the nuclear decay of radioactive isotopes.
- (Radiometry) Methods of calculating an age for geologic materials by measuring the amounts of short-half-life radioactive elements, such as carbon-14, or of long-half-life radioactive elements plus their decay products, such as potassium-40/argon-40.
- (Radiometry) The measurement of radiation in the infrared, visible and ultraviolet portions of the spectrum.
- A device that detects radio waves from space and measures their direction. [LB90]
