SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on resources for learning radiometry at an undergraduate level. Key recommendations include "Handbook of Optics, Volume 1: Fundamentals, Techniques, and Design" and "Handbook of Optics, Vol. 2: Devices, Measurements, and Properties," both available for $30. Additionally, the book "Hengstberger - Absolute Radiometry" is suggested as a cost-effective option. The discussion emphasizes the need for practical problems related to intensity, irradiance, exitance, radiance, and their spectral counterparts.
