| Details | Unit cd/dm² (candela per square decimetre) is a unit of measurement for luminance in the field of photometry, which deals with the measurement of visible light in terms of its perceived brightness to the human eye. Luminance is the measure of the brightness or the intensity of light emitted, transmitted, or reflected by a surface or an object in a specific direction. Candela (cd) is the SI (International System of Units) base unit of luminous intensity, describing the amount of light emitted by a source in a specific direction. One candela is roughly equivalent to the brightness of a single candle. A square decimetre (dm²) is a unit of area, equivalent to 0.01 square meters or 100 square centimetres. When we talk about cd/dm², we are describing the luminous intensity (in candelas) per unit area (square decimetres) of a light source or a surface emitting light. It quantifies the concentration of visible light emitted or reflected in a given direction, enabling us to compare the relative brightness of different light sources or surfaces. In summary, cd/dm² (candela per square decimetre) is a unit to measure luminance, which helps us understand the distribution of visible light emitted, transmitted, or reflected by surfaces or objects. |
