IUPAC - spectral sensitivity (ST07395)

spectral sensitivity, $S (λ)$

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.ST07395

Referred to actinometers based on spectrophotometric measurements,

S_{ac} (λ) = Φ (λ) ε (λ_{obs}) = sensitivity or actinometric factor

Φ (λ)

is the quantum yield of the actinometers at the excitation wavelength and

λ_{obs}

is the observation wavelength, which may be the same as or differ from the former.
