A monochromatic source of 1 W1 \text{ W} produces a luminous flux of 450 lumen450 \text{ lumen}. Determine the relative luminosity at the emitted wavelength.

Options

  1. A152%152\%
  2. B45%45\%
  3. C81%81\%
  4. D66%66\%

Correct answer

D. 66%66\%

Step-by-step solution

The maximum luminous flux for a 1 W1 \text{ W} source is 683 lumen683 \text{ lumen} (which occurs at a wavelength of 555 nm555 \text{ nm}).

The relative luminosity is defined as the ratio of the luminous flux at the given wavelength to the maximum luminous flux for the same power.

Relative luminosity =450683×100%= \dfrac{450}{683} \times 100\%

Relative luminosity ≈65.88%≈66%\approx 65.88\% \approx 66\%
