(a) The radian and steradian may
be used with advantage in expressions for derived units to distinguish
between quantities of different nature but the same dimension.
(b) In practice, the symbols rad
and sr are used where appropriate, but the derived unit "1"
is generally omitted.
(c) In photometry, the name steradian
and the symbol sr are usually retained in expressions for units.
(d) This unit may be used in combination
with SI prefixes, e.g. millidegree Celsius, mŸC.
