Expert Solution

Step 1: Radiative flux
The quantity of radiant energy that moves through a specific region in a specific length of time is measured by a process known as radiative flux, sometimes abbreviated as radiant flux. The common unit of measurement is watts (W) per square meter (m²). The rate at which energy is transmitted or transferred through a surface as electromagnetic radiation, such as heat or light, is known as the radiative flux.
