Luminous coefficient

 

Luminous coefficient

The luminous coefficient is a coefficient that measures the integrated fraction of the radiant power that contributes to its luminous properties as evaluated by means of the standard luminosity function. The luminosity coefficient is:

where

yλ is the standard luminosity function

Jλ is the spectral power distribuiton of the radiant intensity

The luminous coefficient is unity for a narrow band of wavelengths at 555 nanometres.
