The relative luminosity for a wavelength of 600 nm is 0.6 ....
The relative luminosity for a wavelength of is . Determine the radiant flux at required to generate the same brightness sensation as that produced by a radiant flux of at .
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
Luminous flux is given by the product of a constant, relative luminosity, and radiant flux.
For the same brightness sensation, the luminous flux must be equal for both wavelengths.
Let the radiant flux at be .
The relative luminosity at is (maximum).
Equating the luminous flux for both wavelengths:
