lux to watt/sq. cm (at 555 nm)
Please provide values below to convert lux [lx] to watt/sq. cm (at 555 nm), or change ↔.
lux [lx]
Definition: A unit of illuminance, measuring the amount of light that falls on a surface area, equal to one lumen per square meter.
Historyandorigin: The lux is part of the International System of Units (SI) and was introduced in the late 19th century as part of the metric system's development.
CurrentUse: It is widely used in lighting design and to measure the intensity of light across a surface in fields such as architecture, photography, and environmental science.
funfact: Lux is commonly used in everyday life to determine how well-lit a room is, with the recommended illuminance level for general reading being about 300 lux.
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 lux to watt/sq. cm (at 555 nm)
1 lux [lx] = 1.464128843E-7 watt/sq. cm (at 555 nm)
1 watt/sq. cm (at 555 nm) = 6830000 lux [lx]
we use cross multiplication method
lux [lx] → watt/sq. cm (at 555 nm)
1 → 1.464128843E-7
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*1.464128843E-7=1*x
by simplifying
x=2.196193265E-7
