A source emits light of wavelengths and . The radiant flux of the part is while that of the part is . The relative luminosity at is . Determine the total luminous flux.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
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 , where is the relative luminosity and is the radiant flux.
At , the relative luminosity is maximum, so .
Luminous flux for the part:
For the part, the relative luminosity is given as .
Luminous flux for the part:
