Estimating irradiance on a square planar surface

Hi, I have a simple problem.

A Lambertian emitter has the shape of a square planar surface, with area Ae=4mm2,
total power P=1mW, and is located in yz plane.
Another square planar surface, with area Ad=6mm2, is located in the
xy plane, at a distance d=10cm to the Ae, and is tilted 20 Degrees toward the Ae
(see attached picture).

How do I go about to compute or estimate irradiance at Ad ?

  • 3D coordinate diagram with x, y and z axes. A small square labelled Ae sits off the origin near the y axis, joined by a line labelled d to a tilted square labelled Ad on the x axis, with a 20 Degrees angle marked between them.

Is there really is no one who can answer or give advice on this problem ?
What if instead of Ad I would have a Lambertian point source with the same power,
would this make it easier to give an estimate of irradiance on Ae surface ?
