- Consider the non-SI nature of these units and interpret results accordingly
- Cross-reference converted values carefully when integrating with SI-based measurements
Limitations
- Stilb and lambert are CGS units mostly relevant in historical or niche applications today
- The unit definitions involve approximations, especially in the value of π, affecting precision
- Conversions may not reflect the precision required in modern SI-centric measurement standards
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the stilb unit?
- Stilb (sb) is a CGS photometric unit of luminance representing 10,000 candela per square metre, often used to quantify luminous intensity from surfaces.
- How many lamberts equal one stilb?
- One stilb is equivalent to approximately 3.1416 lamberts, reflecting the mathematical relationship between these CGS luminance units.
- Why convert between stilb and lambert?
- Conversion helps interpret historical luminance data reported in different CGS units and bridges older photometric measurements with modern analyses.
- Are stilb and lambert SI units?
- No, both stilb and lambert are non-SI CGS units, used mainly in historical or specialized fields rather than contemporary standard measurements.
Key Terminology
- Stilb (sb)
- A CGS photometric luminance unit equal to 10,000 candela per square metre used in historical measurements.
- Lambert (L)
- A non-SI CGS unit of luminance for self-luminous or diffusely reflecting surfaces, equal to approximately 1/π candela per square centimetre.
- Luminance
- A measure of luminous intensity emitted or reflected from a surface per unit area in a given direction.
