<Silver chloride> is a <chemical compound> with formula $\mathrm{AgCl}$. Its darkening under illumination supplied the chemical readout in the historical <ultraviolet> discovery described above. That response depends on the incident <optical spectrum> and the sample's condition; it does not provide an uncalibrated direct measurement of incident <power>. https://coolcosmos.ipac.caltech.edu/page/lesson_ritter_experiment[Caltech/IPAC, Ritter's silver-chloride detector]{ref}.
