What Is This Tool?
This unit converter transforms light intensity described in flames, an informal and non-standard photometric unit, into watts per square centimeter at 555 nm, a radiometric measure of irradiance at a specific wavelength relevant for photopic vision. It aids in converting rough visual estimates of illumination into standardized, quantifiable data.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the numeric value representing illumination in flames
- Select the target unit watt/sq. cm at 555 nm for conversion
- Click the convert button to obtain the corresponding radiometric irradiance
- Use the converted value for scientific, safety, or calibration purposes
Key Features
- Converts 'flame' unit to watt/sq. cm at 555 nm for precise irradiance measurement
- Supports applications in lighting design, vision science, and safety testing
- Browser-based and easy to use with simple input and conversion process
- Provides quantitative results from qualitative visual light descriptors
- Focuses on the photopic luminous efficiency reference wavelength of 555 nm
Examples
- 5 Flames converts to 0.0000315195 Watt/sq. cm (at 555 nm)
- 10 Flames converts to 0.0000630390 Watt/sq. cm (at 555 nm)
Common Use Cases
- Converting informal flame-based light descriptions into scientific radiometric units
- Calibrating light sources and photometers using a standard irradiance measurement
- Conducting vision science and psychophysics experiments at the photopic peak wavelength
- Evaluating photobiological safety exposure levels for green optical sources
- Contextualizing historical or fieldwork lighting in archaeology and anthropology
Tips & Best Practices
- Use this tool when precise quantitative data is needed from qualitative flame descriptions
- Be aware that 'flame' is subjective and conversions are approximate
- Consider environmental and source variations that affect flame-based illumination
- Apply this conversion specifically for monochromatic light at 555 nm wavelength
- Complement this tool with measurements from calibrated photometric equipment when possible
Limitations
- 'Flame' is not a standardized unit and is subjective by nature
- Conversion depends on approximate equivalences and variable flame conditions
- Results apply only to 555 nm wavelength, not broadband or other spectra
- Environmental factors and fuel types influence measurement accuracy
- Precision is limited due to informal and qualitative origin of the 'flame' unit
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the unit 'flame' represent in illumination measurement?
- 'Flame' is an informal, non-standard unit describing light from open combustion sources like candles or torches. It provides a qualitative estimate rather than a precise measurement.
- Why convert from flame to watt per square centimeter at 555 nm?
- Converting flame to this radiometric unit enables quantifiable measurement of radiant power at a wavelength relevant to human photopic vision, useful in scientific and safety contexts.
- Can this conversion be applied to light sources other than flames?
- This conversion is specific to the flame unit and irradiance at 555 nm wavelength, and may not be accurate for broadband or different spectral lighting sources.
- How does environmental condition affect the conversion accuracy?
- Factors such as flame size, fuel type, and surrounding environment impact the flame's irradiance, making precise conversions approximate.
- Is 'flame' a standardized photometric unit?
- No, 'flame' is not standardized and is mainly used informally or historically to describe lighting levels qualitatively.
Key Terminology
- Flame
- An informal descriptor of light emitted by open combustion sources, not standardized and used qualitatively.
- Watt/sq. cm (at 555 nm)
- A radiometric unit measuring radiant power per unit area specifically at 555 nm wavelength, relevant for photopic vision.
- Illuminance
- The measure of luminous flux incident on a surface, often calculated by converting monochromatic irradiance to lux.
