meter-candle to watt/sq. cm (at 555 nm)
Please provide values below to convert meter-candle [m*c] to watt/sq. cm (at 555 nm), or change ↔.
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CurrentUse: It is no longer in use, having been replaced by the lux in modern systems of measurement.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.
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 meter-candle to watt/sq. cm (at 555 nm)
1 meter-candle [m*c] = 1.464128843E-7 watt/sq. cm (at 555 nm)
1 watt/sq. cm (at 555 nm) = 6830000 meter-candle [m*c]
we use cross multiplication method
meter-candle [m*c] → 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
