  2. Luminous efficacy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_efficacy

    The main difference between the luminous efficacy of radiation and the luminous efficacy of a source is that the latter accounts for input energy that is lost as heat or otherwise exits the source as something other than electromagnetic radiation. Luminous efficacy of radiation is a property of the radiation emitted by a source. Luminous ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert_(unit)

    Luminous efficacy (of radiation) K: lumen per watt: lm/W: M −1 ⋅L −2 ⋅T 3 ⋅J: Ratio of luminous flux to radiant flux: Luminous efficacy (of a source) η [nb 3] lumen per watt: lm/W: M −1 ⋅L −2 ⋅T 3 ⋅J: Ratio of luminous flux to power consumption Luminous efficiency, luminous coefficient V: 1: Luminous efficacy normalized by ...

  4. Candela - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candela

    The 26th General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) redefined the candela in 2018. [10] [11] The new definition, which took effect on 20 May 2019, is: The candela [...] is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the luminous efficacy of monochromatic radiation of frequency 540 × 10 12 Hz, [a] K cd, to be 683 when expressed in the unit lm W −1, which is equal to cd sr W −1 ...

  5. Photosynthetically active radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthetically_active...

    Radiation reaching a plant contains entropy as well as energy, and combining those two concepts the exergy can be determined. This sort of analysis is known as exergy analysis or second law analysis, and the exergy represents a measure of the useful work, i.e., the useful part of radiation which can be transformed into other forms of energy.

  6. Luminous energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_energy

    Luminous energy is related to radiant energy by the expression = / ¯ (). Here λ {\displaystyle \lambda } is the wavelength of light, and y ¯ ( λ ) {\displaystyle {\overline {y}}(\lambda )} is the luminous efficiency function , which represents the eye's sensitivity to different wavelengths of light.

  7. Photobiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photobiology

    Photobiology is the scientific study of the beneficial and harmful interactions of light (technically, non-ionizing radiation) in living organisms. [1] The field includes the study of photophysics, photochemistry, photosynthesis, photomorphogenesis, visual processing, circadian rhythms, photomovement, bioluminescence, and ultraviolet radiation effects.

  8. Luminous intensity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_intensity

    In photometry, luminous intensity is a measure of the wavelength-weighted power emitted by a light source in a particular direction per unit solid angle, based on the luminosity function, a standardized model of the sensitivity of the human eye.
