c
Definition
The Candle (International) is the SI base unit of luminous intensity, defined as the luminous intensity in a given direction of a source that emits monochromatic radiation of frequency 540×10¹² hertz and has a radiant intensity in that direction of 1/683 watt per steradian.
History/Origin
The international candle was established in 1948 as part of the International System of Units (SI). It replaced earlier candle standards and provides a precise, reproducible definition based on fundamental physical constants, ensuring consistency in light measurement worldwide.
Current Use
Widely used as the standard unit for measuring luminous intensity in scientific research, lighting design, and photometric applications. It is essential for calibrating light sources, designing lighting systems, and ensuring accurate light measurements in various industries.
