The footcandle is a measure of the amount of light in a space. For classrooms
the amount of light at desk height should be about 50 footcandles. Parking garages
reguire about 5 foot candles. 1 footcandle is good for street lighting.
A unit of measure of the intensity of light falling on a surface, equal to one lumen per square foot and originally defined with reference to a standardized candle burning at one foot from a given surface.

What kind of simple machine is a candle stick?
A candle stick is considered a lever, as it uses a rigid structure (the stick) to apply a force (lifting the candle) at a certain point (the pivot or fulcrum) to perform work.
Which source of energy does a candle use?
A candle primarily uses chemical energy stored in the wax. When the candle is lit, the heat from the flame melts the wax, which is then drawn up the wick and vaporized, releasing heat and light energy in the process.
Why does the candle blow out when you cover it with something?
When you cover a candle, you restrict the oxygen supply that is necessary for the flame to continue burning. Without oxygen, the combustion process cannot be sustained, causing the flame to extinguish.
Are lumens and foot candles the same?
No, lumens and foot candles are not the same. Lumens measure the total amount of light output from a source, while foot candles measure the illuminance or light intensity on a surface. Lumens are used to describe the brightness of a light source, whereas foot candles are used to describe the light level at a specific point.
Which candle burns faster?
A parrafin candle, a beeswax candle, and a soy candle were burned at he same time. If you are lloking to buy a long lasting candle i suggest buying a parrafin candle( most candles are made from parrafin) Do not buy a bees wax candle they burn twice as fast as a regular candle

Who invented the foot candle?
The foot candle, a unit of illuminance, was developed by the American physicist and inventor, William Thompson, who is also known as Lord Kelvin. The term "foot candle" refers to the amount of light produced by a candle at a distance of one foot. While Thompson contributed to the understanding of light measurements, the concept of the foot candle became widely used in lighting design and engineering.
What does 1 foot candle mean?
The amount (flux) of light incident at a distance of 1 foot from a standard candle.

What is the chemical property of a candle?
A candle uses a combustion reaction to release heat and gas.
What is the equivalent to one foot-candle?
One foot-candle is equal to the illumination produced by one candle from a distance of one foot away. It is a measure of illuminance used in lighting design and is equivalent to 10.76 lux in the metric system.
What is the origin of the measurement called a foot candle?
