A source emits light of wavelengths 555 nm555 \text{ nm} and 600 nm600 \text{ nm}. The radiant flux of the 555 nm555 \text{ nm} part is 40 W40 \text{ W} while that of the 600 nm600 \text{ nm} part is 30 W30 \text{ W}. The relative luminosity at 600 nm600 \text{ nm} is 0.60.6. Determine the total luminous flux.

Options

  1. A47950 lumen47950 \text{ lumen}
  2. B12330 lumen12330 \text{ lumen}
  3. C27400 lumen27400 \text{ lumen}
  4. D39730 lumen39730 \text{ lumen}

Correct answer

D. 39730 lumen39730 \text{ lumen}

Step-by-step solution

The total luminous flux is the sum of the luminous fluxes for each wavelength.

The luminous flux for a given wavelength is calculated as Φv=685×V(λ)×Φe(λ)\Phi_v = 685 \times V(\lambda) \times \Phi_e(\lambda), where V(λ)V(\lambda) is the relative luminosity and Φe(λ)\Phi_e(\lambda) is the radiant flux.

At 555 nm555 \text{ nm}, the relative luminosity is maximum, so V(555 nm)=1V(555 \text{ nm}) = 1.

Luminous flux for the 555 nm555 \text{ nm} part:

Φv1=685×1×40=27400 lumen\Phi_{v1} = 685 \times 1 \times 40 = 27400 \text{ lumen}

For the 600 nm600 \text{ nm} part, the relative luminosity is given as V(600 nm)=0.6V(600 \text{ nm}) = 0.6.

Luminous flux for the 600 nm600 \text{ nm} part:

Φv2=685×0.6×30=12330 lumen\Phi_{v2} = 685 \times 0.6 \times 30 = 12330 \text{ lumen}

Total luminous flux:

Φv=Φv1+Φv2=27400+12330=39730 lumen\Phi_v = \Phi_{v1} + \Phi_{v2} = 27400 + 12330 = 39730 \text{ lumen}
