01
the scientific measurement of light in terms of its intensity, color, and other properties
What is "photometry"?
Photometry is the science of measuring the intensity of light. It involves determining how much light is emitted, reflected, or transmitted by an object or source. This process is important in various fields, including photography, astronomy, and lighting design, to ensure accurate lighting conditions and quality. Photometry helps in evaluating how bright a light source is and how it will appear in different settings.
Examples
The astronomer used photometry to determine the luminosity of distant stars by measuring their light intensity.
In the laboratory, researchers applied photometry techniques to analyze the color spectrum of light emitted by various chemical reactions.
