A luxmeter is equipped with an electronic eye. This eye takes in light and converts it into an electric signal, passing it on to a computer which calculates the data sent from the luxmeter and converts it into lux.
1 lux is approximately the amount of light generated from a regular candle 1 meter away. A full moon on a clear night is 0.27-1.0 lux and direct sunlight can vary from 32000 to 120000 lux.

The intensity of light waves is a measure of what?
The intensity of light waves is a measure of the energy that is carried by the waves. Light waves are electromagnetic waves.
What equipment to use to measure wavelength?
Electromagnetic radiation is just light. You can measure light with a light meter, which tells you intensity, or a camera sensitive to different frequencies. You can also use a magnetometer (Gaussmeter) to measure the B field component or a voltmeter to measure the E field component.Your eyes are instrumentstha measure EM radiation between 300 and 700 microns. We call this type of EM radiation "visible light." Other detectors of EM radiation ar CCD chips in digital cameras, and IR detectors in appliances with rerote controls.spectroscope?
What equipment is used to measure light intensity?
a photodiode
What does a spectrometer measure?
A spectrometer measures properties of light of a specific part of the wavelength. It is often used to measure the intensity of a light.
What unit to measure intensity?
Intensity of what, exactly - light, magnetic flux, smell? You're going to have to be more specific.
What instrument measures luminous intensity or flux?
Luxmeter measures luminous intensity. The SI unit of luminous intensity is candela (cd).
The intensity of light waves is a measure of what?

Why do scientists measure light intensity?
to know how is the light heavy

The measure of intensity in LIGHT?
The SI unit for luminous intensity is candela (cd).
What equipment is used to measure light intensity?
a photodiode
How do you measure a candela?
it measures the intensity of light of a specified frequency
How do you work spectrophotometer?
. A spectrophotometer is a photometer (a device for measuring light intensity) that can measure intensity as a function of the color, or more specifically, the wavelength of light

What is measure w?
It stands for standard Weight, the unit for light intensity.
Instrument used by umpire in cricket to measure light intensity?
lux meter or light meter
