DEFINITION

LIGHT FLUX
LUMEN
SOLID ANGLE
ILLUMINATION
BRIGHTNESS
LUMINOUS INTRNSITY
LIGHT FUX: Amount of visible light emitted by a light source per second
Units : Lumens (lm)

Ligt flux = Solid Angle X Luminous intensity

LUMENS: SI unit of luminous flux. Rate at which the visible light is emitted
from a source,

SOLID ANGLE : Angle subtended at a point in space by an area i.e., the angle
enclosed in the volume formed by numerous lines lying on the surface and
meeting at the point.

Symbol: = A / r2

ILLUMINATION: The luminous flux per unit area on an intercepting surface at

any given point.
OR
Energy of light striking a surface of specific unit area per unit time.
E= /A
BRIGHTNESS: light brightness is the subjective visual sensation related to the intensity
of light emanating from a surface or from a point source

LUMINOUS INTENSITY: The luminous intensity is a quantity for characterizing a

light source. It is defined as the luminous flux per unit solid angle.
