What is the symbol for candela?

A candela is the power emitted by a source of light in a set direction with a correction to account for the different sensitivity of the human eye to different wavelengths of light. One candela is defined as the luminous intensity of a light source emitting light in one direction at a frequency of 540 x 1012 hertz and has a radiant intensity in that direction of 1/683 watts per steradian.


How many footcandle is 1 candela per meter square?

Foot Candela is the measuring unit for illuminance while candela/meter squared is a measuring unit for luminance,which makes conversion not possible. conversion can be done for units of the same quantity, for example, illuminance units : ft candela = 10.764 lux. To know the difference between luminance & illuminance, you can take a look at http://www.tpub.com/content/gsacriteria/gsa_courtroom_lighting/gsa_courtroom_lighting0012.htm


Is the spectrum of white light from the sun continuous?

Yes, the spectrum of white light from the sun is continuous, containing all colors of the rainbow. This continuous spectrum is due to the sun emitting light across a wide range of wavelengths.


Si unit for light intensity?

Light intensity is also known as luminosity. Candela is the si unit


What is the difference between lux and candela and how do they affect the measurement of light intensity?

Lux and candela are both units of measurement for light intensity, but they measure different aspects of light. Lux measures the amount of light that falls on a surface, while candela measures the brightness of a light source in a specific direction. Lux is used to determine the brightness of an illuminated area, while candela is used to measure the intensity of a light source. In essence, lux measures the light that is received, while candela measures the light that is emitted.
