  2. Averted vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Averted_vision

    Averted vision works because there are virtually no rods (cells which detect dim light in black and white) in the fovea: a small area in the center of the eye. The fovea contains primarily cone cells, which serve as bright light and color detectors and are not as useful during the night. This situation results in a decrease in visual ...

  3. Luminous intensity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_intensity

    By definition, if one constructs a light source that emits monochromatic green light with a frequency of 540 THz, and that has a radiant intensity of 1/683 watts per steradian in a given direction, that light source will emit one candela in the specified direction.

  4. One-way speed of light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-way_speed_of_light

    κ can have values between 0 and 1. In the extreme as κ approaches 1, light might propagate in one direction instantaneously, provided it takes the entire round-trip time to travel in the opposite direction. Following Edwards and Winnie, Anderson et al. formulated generalized Lorentz transformations for arbitrary boosts of the form: [2]

  5. Photometry (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photometry_(optics)

    The lumen is defined as amount of light given into one steradian by a point source of one candela strength; while the candela, a base SI unit, is defined as the luminous intensity of a source of monochromatic radiation, of frequency 540 terahertz, and a radiant intensity of 1/683 watts per steradian.

  6. Luminance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminance

    The luminance of a specified point of a light source, in a specified direction, is defined by the mixed partial derivative = ⁡ where L v is the luminance ( cd / m 2 ); d 2 Φ v is the luminous flux ( lm ) leaving the area dΣ in any direction contained inside the solid angle dΩ Σ ;

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light

    The primary properties of light are intensity, propagation direction, frequency or wavelength spectrum, and polarization. Its speed in vacuum, 299 792 458 m/s, is one of the fundamental constants of nature. [6]
