We derive analytical expressions for the solid angle subtended by a circular disc at a point source with cosine angular distribution ($f(\mu)=\mu/\pi$)under the sole condition that the disc lies in the half-space illuminated by the source…
The solid angle subtended by a right circular cylinder at a point source located at an arbitrary position generally consists of a sum of two terms: that defined by the cylindrical surface ($\Omega_{cyl}$) and the other by either of the end…
