lumen
basic unit of photometry
luminous flux
fundamental quantity of photometry, is expressed in lumen
- total intensity of light from the source
illuminance
decribes the intensity of light incident on a surface
luminance intensity
property of a source of light, such as viewbox
- luminous flux that is emitted into the entire viewing area, measured in candela
luminance
measure of brightness of a source , expressed in nit
invese square law
luminous intensity decreases in proportion to the inverse square of the distance from the source
cosine law
viewed straight on luminous intensity is strongest and viewed from the side , the contrast and luminous intensity is reduced
