    The relative luminosity of wavelength 600 nm is 0.6. Find the radiant flux of 600 nm needed to produce the same brightness sensation as produced by 120 W of radiant flux at 555 nm

    A)            50W                                         

    B)            72W

    C)            \[120\times {{(0.6)}^{2}}W\]

    D)            200W

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               If h is the luminous efficiency of the bulb then.                    luminous flux by 120 watt at 555 nm \[=\eta \times 120\]                    Let bulb of P watt at 600 nm produces the same luminous flux as by 120 watt at 555 nm then            \[\eta \times 120=\eta P\times 0.6\] \[\Rightarrow P=\frac{120}{0.6}=200\ watt.\]
