EU:  RADIAN

Status: STD 2005/06/07
Code: 186
Symbol: rad
EQ label: PLANE_ANGLE
 
Quantities associated with this Unit

Quantity: angle of optical rotation
Concept definition: Angle through which plane-polarized light is rotated clockwise, as seen when facing the light source, in passing through an optically active medium.
 
Reference type: PR
Reference: [ISO 80000-9:2009, item 9-57.a]
Supplemental references:  

Quantity: angle (plane angle)
Concept definition: s/r, where s is the length of the included arc of a circle between two radii of the circle [ISO 80000-3:2006, item 3-1.8] and r is the radius of the circle [ISO 80000-3:2006, item 3-1.5].
1 rad = 1 m/m = 1
A complete angle (full circle) is 2π rad.
