  2. Apparent magnitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparent_magnitude

    While apparent magnitude is a measure of the brightness of an object as seen by a particular observer, absolute magnitude is a measure of the intrinsic brightness of an object. Flux decreases with distance according to an inverse-square law , so the apparent magnitude of a star depends on both its absolute brightness and its distance (and any ...

  4. Luminosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminosity

    As the radius increases, the surface area will also increase, and the constant luminosity has more surface area to illuminate, leading to a decrease in observed brightness. =, where is the area of the illuminated surface. is the flux density of the illuminated surface.

  5. Binocular summation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binocular_summation

    Schrödinger (1926) [4] put forth an equation for binocular brightness and contrast combination where each monocular input is weighted by the ratio of the signal strength from that eye to the sum of the signal from both eyes. The inputs and are monocular brightness flux signals. This equation can be thought of as the sum of the lengths of two ...

  7. Bezold–Brücke shift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bezold–Brücke_shift

    At lower intensities, the red/green axis dominates. This means that reds become more yellow with increasing brightness. Light may change in the perceived hue as its brightness changes, despite the fact that it retains a constant spectral composition. It was discovered by Wilhelm von Bezold and M.E. Brücke.

  8. Gamma correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_correction

    Using the controls for gamma, contrast and brightness, the gamma correction on an LCD can only be done for one specific vertical viewing angle, which implies one specific horizontal line on the monitor, at one specific brightness and contrast level. An ICC profile allows one to adjust the monitor for several brightness levels. The quality (and ...

  9. Adaptation (eye) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptation_(eye)

    In developed countries night blindness has historically been uncommon due to adequate food availability; however, the incidence is expected to increase as obesity becomes more common. Increased obesity rates correspond to an increased number of bariatric surgeries, causing malabsorption of vitamin A in the human body.
