Light intensity is measured in LUX, which is defined as LUMENS/square meter. Lumens derives from the base unit CANDELA.

How to measure the frequency of light accurately and effectively?

To measure the frequency of light accurately and effectively, you can use a device called a spectrometer. A spectrometer splits light into its different wavelengths, allowing you to determine the frequency of the light. By analyzing the spectrum produced by the spectrometer, you can accurately measure the frequency of the light.

Who is the scientist use the light year to measure the speed of light?

It doesn't work that way. The light-year is not used to measure the speed of light. It works the other way round: First, the speed of light is determined through other methods, then the distance called a light-year is calculated based on that measurements.
