A light source produces monochromatic light of wavelength 555 nm ....
A light source produces monochromatic light of wavelength . It consumes of electric power and emits of radiant flux. Compute the overall luminous efficiency.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
The relative luminosity of light of wavelength is .
The luminous flux corresponding to of radiant flux at is .
Total luminous flux emitted by the source is given by:
The overall luminous efficiency is defined as the ratio of the total luminous flux to the total electric power consumed by the source.
Overall luminous efficiency
Rounding off to the nearest integer, we get .
