Listen "Chapter 4: Physics and Optics"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we dive into three essential sources that explore the physics and perception of light. The first, Physics and Optics of Radiant Power, offers a comprehensive look into the fundamentals of light, including wave-particle duality, electromagnetic radiation, and the mechanisms behind light production from various sources such as incandescent lamps and LEDs.Next, Spectral Illumination Distributions focus on human light perception, examining how different spectral power distributions influence visibility, brightness, and color appearance. We also discuss color rendering and alternative metrics for assessing light quality beyond the traditional Color Rendering Index (CRI).Finally, we explore Understanding Radiance (Brightness), Irradiance, and Radiant Flux, which introduces key concepts for measuring and understanding the distribution of light.Whether you're interested in the science behind light or its practical applications, this conversation will provide a deep dive into the essential principles of light physics and perception.
