AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a solution attempt for calculating the average illuminance level from a point luminaire with a luminous intensity of 2000 cd, located 3 m from a plane with an annular cavity. Participants express difficulty in following the calculations presented in images, suggesting that the work should be typed out, preferably using LaTeX, and that variables should be defined rather than using numeric values. There is confusion regarding the term "point luminaire" and the specifics of the annular cavity, leading to frustration over understanding the final illuminance value of 879.55 lux. Suggestions for improvement emphasize clarity and adherence to forum rules regarding the presentation of mathematical work. The conversation highlights the importance of clear communication in technical discussions.

Homework Statement
A point luminaire with a luminous intensity of 2000 cd in all directions is 3 m away from the center of a plane
exists. In the middle of this distance, it has an annular cavity with an outer diameter of 3 m and an inner diameter of 2.4 m.
The plane has a parallel screen. Accordingly, the average illuminance level in the illuminated part of the plane
calculate.
Relevant Equations
Relevant Equations Luminous intensity [cd] = luminous flux [lm] / solid angle [sr].
Illuminance is calculated with the following formula: Lux [lx] = luminous flux [lm] / area [m2].
My solution attempt can be seen on these pictures.

Welcome to the forum, but…

Your working is too difficult to follow.
According to forum rules, images are for diagrams and printed matter, such as text book extracts. Your working should be typed in, preferably using LaTeX.
It will also help if you avoid use of the numeric values; just define variables for them and work algebraically. That is good style anyway because it has many advantages.

I for one do not know what a "point luminaire" is, and a web search has not enlightened me. Please explain about the cavity.
 
In addition: I spent quite some time trying to decypher what you are doing to end up with 879.55 lux but had to give up, slightly frustrated. (Note: the suggested accuracy is non-existent and the units don't look like lx at all, but I can be mistaken...)

Nevertheless.

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...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
