What Is This Tool?
This tool converts luminance measurements expressed in blondel, an outdated photometric unit, into lambert [L], a CGS-based luminance unit used in optical and photographic applications. It helps translate older brightness data into a unit still recognized in specific engineering and cinema contexts.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the luminance value measured in blondel.
- Select the conversion from blondel to lambert [L].
- Click convert to see the equivalent lambert [L] value based on the formula 1 Blondel = 0.0001 Lambert [L].
- Use the result for analysis or comparison with other luminance units.
Key Features
- Converts obsolete blondel luminance values to lambert [L].
- Supports analysis of historical and vintage photometric data.
- Browser-based and straightforward to use.
- Facilitates comparison between old and modern luminance units.
- Outputs results in a unit applicable to optical engineering and printing.
Examples
- 5 Blondel converts to 0.0005 Lambert [L].
- 100 Blondel converts to 0.01 Lambert [L].
Common Use Cases
- Translating historical luminance measurements into CGS units for research.
- Analyzing photometric data in optical engineering and printing industries.
- Converting historical cinema projection luminance data for screen brightness assessments.
Tips & Best Practices
- Always verify units when working with historical photometry data.
- Use this conversion as an intermediate step when comparing old data with modern SI measurements.
- Be aware that lambert is a non-SI unit and might need further conversion.
- Consider the context of usage, whether optical, photographic, or cinematic.
Limitations
- Blondel is obsolete and rarely used in contemporary measurements.
- Lambert is not an SI unit and might require additional conversion for standard scientific work.
- Conversion precision may be affected by historical measurement inconsistencies.
- Unit definition differences could limit direct comparability.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the blondel unit used for?
- Blondel is an obsolete photometric unit for luminance used in early 20th-century photometry, mainly found in historical literature and older standards.
- Why convert blondel to lambert?
- Conversion is needed to interpret old luminance data in the CGS-based lambert unit, which is relevant in optical, photographic, and cinematic contexts.
- Is the lambert an SI unit?
- No, lambert is a non-SI (CGS) unit of luminance commonly used historically but may require conversion to SI units such as candela per square meter.
Key Terminology
- Blondel
- An obsolete photometric unit of luminance named after André Blondel, used in early 20th-century photometry.
- Lambert [L]
- A non-SI CGS unit of luminance for self-luminous or diffuse surfaces, defined as 1/π candela per square centimetre.
- Luminance
- The measure of luminous intensity per unit area of light traveling in a given direction.
