Actinometer
Actinometers are instruments used to measure the heating power of radiation. They are used in meteorology to measure solar radiation.An actinometer is a chemical system or physical device which determines the number of photons in a beam integrally or per unit time. This name is commonly applied to devices used in the ultraviolet and visible wavelength ranges. For example, solutions of iron(III) oxalate (e.g. potassium ferrioxalate) can be used as a chemical actinometer, while bolometersthermopiles, and photodiodes are physical devices giving a reading that can be correlated to the number of photons detected.
