meter-candle [m*c]
Definition: A historical unit of illuminance, measuring the light falling on one square meter from a source of one candle power at a distance of one meter.
Historyandorigin: The meter-candle was used in early photometric measurements before the SI units, such as lux, became more standardized.
CurrentUse: It is no longer in use, having been replaced by the lux in modern systems of measurement.
funfact: The meter-candle was an important step in the development of modern photometric units and was part of the transition to more accurate and practical measurement systems.
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.

How to Convert meter-candle to lux
1 meter-candle [m*c] = 1 lux [lx]
1 lux [lx] = 1 meter-candle [m*c]
we use cross multiplication method
meter-candle [m*c] → lux [lx]
1 → 1
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*1=1*x
by simplifying
x=1.5
