To most of us, it provides a world of visual information. The forms and colors around us are visible only when light from objects around us reaches our eye and triggers the sensation of sight.<\/p>\n

What is Light?
\n<\/strong>Light is a form of energy and is part of a broader range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Electrical, radio waves and microwaves to gamma rays form this electromagnetic spectrum. The visible light spectrum is a relatively small portion of this spectrum, between 380 nm and 760 nm. In general, light is often defined as including the infrared and ultraviolet regions too.<\/p>\n

The detection of light is a fundamental process and to measure it requires great understanding. A least understood subject in the field of optics, a probable reason is the introduction of new terminology and concepts.<\/p>\n

The measurement of light can be a challenge especially in deciding what to measure and how to measure.<\/p>\n

What Can Be Measured?
\n<\/strong>Generally, the total light energy emitted from a source or falling on a surface can be measured. This total energy can cover a portion of the visible spectrum including ultraviolet and infrared energy. Energy at individual wavelength or over a range of wavelength can be measured.<\/p>\n

Another area of interest is color. Color is a property of light and can be measured and quantified.<\/p>\n

The science of light measurement is known as photometry and is a subset of the broader field of radiometry \u2013 the measurement of radiation outside the visible spectrum.<\/p>\n
