Flux equation
[edit]I am pretty sure the equation given should be I = 10^{10}/{4pi} L. My reference is Baker & Romick, Applied Optics, Vol. 15, Issue 8, p. 1966 (1976). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:638:504:C07C:E130:42ED:9AF1:6365 (talk) 12:34, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
Clarity of explanation
[edit]This article could use a clearer description of what a rayleigh is. One part of the definition which is pretty confusing is "column". What are the dimensions of this column? A diagram of how the photons are measured and how rayleigh is different from radiance or flux (if it is) would be very helpful. -- Beland (talk) 00:35, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
