SUMMARY
Flux and fluence are distinct concepts in physics. Fluence refers to the number of particles that intersect a unit area, measured in units of 1/m². In contrast, flux is defined as the rate at which something flows through a unit area, with units varying based on the specific measurement being taken. Understanding these differences is crucial for accurate scientific communication and application.
