Optics Question 511

Question: The relative luminosity of wavelength 600 nm is 0.6. Find the radiant flux of 600 nm needed to produce the same brightness sensation as produced by 120 W of radiant flux at 555 nm

Options:

A) 50W

B) 72W

C) 120×(0.6)2W

D) 200W

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

If h is the luminous efficiency of the bulb then.

luminous flux by 120 watt at 555 nm =η×120

Let bulb of P watt at 600 nm produces the same luminous flux as by 120 watt at 555 nm

then η×120=ηP×0.6

P=1200.6=200 watt.
