Lux Lumens and Watts per square meter

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the need for a conversion factor to translate lux, a measure of illumination, into watts per square meter, which measures light intensity without weighting. It is noted that the conversion varies by wavelength, suggesting that a conversion table may be necessary. Participants are encouraged to reference the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) for guidance on this topic. The complexity of the conversion highlights the importance of considering the specific wavelengths involved. Understanding these conversions is crucial for accurate measurements in lighting applications.

Homework Statement


I am looking for a conversion factor that will ultimately get me from units of lux (illumination) which is a weighted scale of light intensity, to watts per square meter, which is not weighted.


Homework Equations


None availiable


The Attempt at a Solution


I am informed that the conversion is different for each wavelength of light, so there may be a conversion table with a list of wavelengths?

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
