Photometry

Photometry is the study of visible electromagnetic radiation in terms of its perception by the human visual system

All radiometric measurements like flux and radiance can be converted to corresponding photometric measurements by integrating against the spectral response curve \( V(\lambda) \), which describes the relative sensitivity of the human eye to various wavelengths.
