centimeter-candle to watt/sq. cm (at 555 nm)
Please provide values below to convert centimeter-candle [cm*c] to watt/sq. cm (at 555 nm), or change ↔.
centimeter-candle [cm*c]
Definition: A historical unit of illuminance, measuring the light falling on one square centimeter from a source of one candle power at a distance of one centimeter.
Historyandorigin: This unit was used in early photometry systems to measure light intensity across small areas, similar to the meter-candle.
CurrentUse: It has been replaced by more standardized units like lux and is no longer commonly used.
funfact: The centimeter-candle was often used in laboratories and early experiments in photometry to measure light intensity over small distances.
watt/sq. cm (at 555 nm)
Definition: A unit of radiometric power, measuring the amount of radiant power (in watts) per square centimeter at a wavelength of 555 nm, which corresponds to the peak sensitivity of the human eye.
Historyandorigin: This unit is used in photometry to understand the power of light sources that emit light at wavelengths that the human eye is most sensitive to.
CurrentUse: It is used in scientific applications where precise measurement of light intensity at 555 nm is required, such as in the study of vision and optical systems.
funfact: The 555 nm wavelength is in the green part of the spectrum and is the most efficient wavelength for human vision, which is why this unit is used to measure visual brightness.

How to Convert centimeter-candle to watt/sq. cm (at 555 nm)
1 centimeter-candle [cm*c] = 0.0014641288 watt/sq. cm (at 555 nm)
1 watt/sq. cm (at 555 nm) = 683 centimeter-candle [cm*c]
we use cross multiplication method
centimeter-candle [cm*c] → watt/sq. cm (at 555 nm)
1 → 0.0014641288
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.0014641288=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.0021961933
