Solution

(i) True - Radiance is a measure of the quantity of radiation that passes through or is emitted from a particular area, and falls within a given solid angle. It gives a measure of the energy an observer perceives from a light source.

(ii) True - Saturation refers to the intensity of a color. It is the aspect of color that varies as white light is added to monochromatic light. The more white light added, the less saturated the color becomes.

(iii) True - Luminance is a photometric measure of the luminous intensity per unit area of light travelling in a given direction. It describes the amount of light that passes through or is emitted from a particular area, and falls within a given solid angle. It represents perceived radiance.
