What Are The Laws Of Illumination?

Answer»

Law of Inverse squares:

Illumination at a point is inversely proportional to square of its distance from the point source and directly proportional to the luminous intensity (CP) of the source of light in that direction.

  • If a source of light which EMITS light equally in all DIRECTIONS be placed at the centre of a hollow sphere, the light will fall UNIFORMLY on the inner SURFACE of the sphere. 
  • If the sphere be replaced by one of the larger radius, the same total amount of light is spread over a larger area proportional to the square of the radius.

Lambert’s COSINE law:

The illumination at a point on a surface is proportional to cosine of the angle which ray makes with the normal to the normal to the surface at that point.
