The '''candela''' ({{IPAc-en|k|æ|n|ˈ|d|ɛ|l|ə}} or {{IPAc-en|k|æ|n|ˈ|d|iː|l|ə}}; symbol: '''cd''') is the [[SI base unit]] of [[luminous intensity]]; that is, power emitted by a light source in a particular direction, weighted by the [[luminosity function]] (a standardized model of the sensitivity of the human eye to different [[wavelength]]s, also known as the ''[[luminous efficiency]] function''<ref name="Sharpe"/><ref>{{cite book |last=Wyzecki |first=G. |coauthors=Stiles, W.S. |year=1982 |edition=2nd ed. |title=Color Science: Concepts and Methods, Quantitative Data and Formulae | isbn = 0-471-02106-7 |publisher=Wiley-Interscience}}</ref>). A common [[candle]] emits light with a luminous intensity of roughly one candela. If emission in some directions is blocked by an opaque barrier, the emission would still be approximately one candela in the directions that are not obscured.
 
The word ''candela'' means ''candle'' in [[Latin language|Latin]], as well as in many modern languages.
 
==Definition==
Like most other SI base units, the candela has an [[operational definition]]—it is defined by a description of a physical process that will produce one candela of luminous intensity. Since the 16th [[General Conference on Weights and Measures]]&nbsp;(CGPM) in 1979, the candela has been defined as:<ref>{{cite web

| work = The [[NIST]] Reference on Constants, Units, and Uncertainty
| url = http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/candela.html

}}</ref>
 
<blockquote>
The candela is the luminous intensity, in a given direction, of a source that emits monochromatic radiation of frequency 540{{e|12}}&nbsp;[[hertz]] and that has a [[radiant intensity]] in that direction of {{frac|683}}&nbsp;[[watt]] per [[steradian]].
</blockquote>
 
The definition describes how to produce a light source that (by definition) emits one candela. Such a source could then be used to calibrate instruments designed to measure luminous intensity.
 
The candela is sometimes still called by the old name ''candle'',<ref>[http://m-w.com/dictionary/candela Merriam-Webster]</ref> such as in ''[[foot-candle]]'' and the modern definition of ''[[candlepower]]''.
 
==Explanation==
The frequency chosen is in the [[visible light|visible spectrum]] near [[green]], corresponding to a wavelength of about 555&nbsp;nanometers. The [[human eye]] is most sensitive to this frequency, when [[Adaptation (eye)|adapted]] for bright conditions. At other frequencies, more radiant intensity is required to achieve the same luminous intensity, according to the frequency response of the human eye. The luminous intensity for light of a particular wavelength λ is given by
:<math>I_\mathrm{v}(\lambda)= 683.002 \cdot \overline{y}(\lambda) \cdot I_\mathrm{e}(\lambda)</math>
 
where ''I''<sub>v</sub>(λ) is the luminous intensity in candelas, ''I''<sub>e</sub>(λ) is the [[radiant intensity]] in W/sr and <math>\textstyle \overline{y}(\lambda)</math> is the [[standard luminosity function]]. If more than one wavelength is present (as is usually the case), one must sum or integrate over the [[spectrum]] of wavelengths present to get the total luminous intensity.
 
===Examples===
A common candle emits light with roughly 1&nbsp;cd luminous intensity. A fire alarm strobe light emits about 75 candela, depending on the settings.  A 25&nbsp;W compact fluorescent light bulb puts out around 1700&nbsp;[[lumen (unit)|lumen]]s; if that light is radiated equally in all directions, it will have an intensity of around 135&nbsp;cd. Focused into a 20°&nbsp;beam, it will have an intensity of around {{nowrap|18&thinsp;000&nbsp;cd}}.
 
The luminous intensity of [[light-emitting diode]]s is measured in millicandela (mcd), or thousandths of a candela. Indicator LEDs are typically in the 50&nbsp;mcd range; "ultra-bright" LEDs can reach {{nowrap|15&thinsp;000&nbsp;mcd}}, or higher.
 
==Origin==
Prior to 1948, various standards for luminous intensity were in use in a number of countries. These were typically based on the brightness of the flame from a "standard candle" of defined composition, or the brightness of an incandescent filament of specific design. One of the best-known of these was the English standard of candlepower. One candlepower was the light produced by a pure [[spermaceti]] candle weighing one sixth of a pound and burning at a rate of 120&nbsp;[[Grain (mass)|grains]] per hour. Germany, Austria and Scandinavia used the [[Hefnerkerze]], a unit based on the output of a [[Hefner lamp]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sizes.com/units/hefner.htm |title=Hefner unit, or Hefner candle |work=Sizes.com |date=30 May 2007 |accessdate=25 February 2009}}</ref>
 
It became clear that a better-defined unit was needed. The [[Commission Internationale de l'Éclairage]] (International Commission on Illumination) and the CIPM proposed a “new candle” based on the luminance of a [[Planck radiator]] (a [[black body]]) at the temperature of freezing [[platinum]]. The value of the new unit was chosen to make it similar to the earlier unit candlepower. The decision was promulgated by the CIPM in 1946:
<blockquote>The value of the '''new candle''' is such that the brightness of the full radiator at the temperature of solidification of platinum is 60&nbsp;new candles per [[square centimetre]].<ref>{{cite book | title = The Metric System: The International System of Units (SI) | author = Barry N. Taylor | publisher = U. S. Department of Commerce | year = 1992 | isbn = 0-941375-74-9 | page = 18 | url = http://books.google.com/books?id=y2-BDaoBVnwC&pg=PA18&dq=%22value+of+the+new+candle+is+such+that+the+brightness+of+the+full+radiator%22&as_brr=3&ei=elatR_S1FofgswPvu430BQ&sig=yl2AU7A-R1O9e5ZuEzuLwekiM2E }} (NIST Special Publication 330, 1991 ed.)</ref></blockquote>
 
It was then ratified in 1948 by the 9th&nbsp;CGPM which adopted a new name for this unit, the ''candela''. In 1967 the 13th CGPM removed the term "new candle" and gave an amended version of the candela definition, specifying the atmospheric pressure applied to the freezing platinum:
<blockquote>The candela is the luminous intensity, in the perpendicular direction, of a surface of {{nowrap|1&thinsp;/&thinsp;600&thinsp;000}} square&nbsp;metre of a black body at the temperature of freezing platinum under a pressure of {{nowrap|101&thinsp;325}}&nbsp;newtons per square&nbsp;metre.<ref>13th CGPM Resolution 5, CR, 104 (1967), and ''Metrologia'', '''4''', 43–44 (1968).</ref></blockquote>
 
In 1979, because of the difficulties in realizing a Planck radiator at high temperatures and the new possibilities offered by [[radiometry]], the 16th&nbsp;CGPM adopted the modern definition of the candela.<ref>16th CGPM Resolution 3, CR, 100 (1979), and ''Metrologia'', '''16''', 56 (1980).</ref> The arbitrary (1/683) term was chosen so that the new definition would exactly match the old definition. Although the candela is now defined in terms of the [[second]] (an SI base unit) and the watt (a derived SI unit), the candela remains a base unit of the SI system, by definition.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www1.bipm.org/utils/en/pdf/SIApp2_cd_en.pdf |title=The photometric base unit – the candela |work=SI Brochure |date=7 September 2007|publisher=Bureau International des Poids et Mesures |format=pdf}}</ref>

===Relationship between luminous intensity and luminous flux===
If a source emits a known luminous intensity ''I''<sub>v</sub> (in candelas) in a well-defined cone, the total [[luminous flux]] ''Φ''<sub>v</sub> in [[lumen (unit)|lumen]]s is given by
:''Φ''<sub>v</sub>&nbsp;= ''I''<sub>v</sub> 2π (1&nbsp;- cos(''A''/2)),
 
where ''A'' is the ''radiation angle'' of the lamp—the full vertex angle of the emission cone. For example, a lamp that emits 590&nbsp;cd with a radiation angle of 40° emits about 224&nbsp;lumens. See [[MR16]] for emission angles of some common lamps.<ref>[http://www.theledlight.com/lumens.html Theory]</ref><ref>[http://led.linear1.org/lumen.wiz Online converter]</ref>
 
If the source emits light uniformly in all directions, the flux can be found by multiplying the intensity by 4π: a uniform 1&nbsp;candela source emits 12.6&nbsp;lumens.

Whenever inside search of the right hemorrhoid treatment you need to consider a few important factors like, that one you think you'd like, when there is a great amount of recovery needed, plus how extended it takes to get results. In this particular article you'll learn the answers to all of these issues, offering you the answer you should find the appropriate hemorrhoid treatment.

The 2nd hemorrhoids symptoms is in the form of suppository. You have to insert the drug inside the rectum inside purchase to aid healing the symptom. This way is considered to be good since several sufferers have utilized it and find it works perfectly with them.

Speaking of sitting. a sitz shower is also recommended by several doctors, specifically a warm one. This process has to be completed 3 instances a day plus following every bowel movement. Just sit inside a tub with a limited inches of warm water for 15 minutes. This can help to lessen the pain following the bowel movement. Simply make sure to receive dry thoroughly afterwards.

If you are going to ask health practitioners they normally suggest surgery inside getting rid of the hemorrhoid. The procedures inside surgery are comparatively simple and to get out o the painful condition when you are performed treating it.

Right today, there are a great deal of hemorrhoid treatments. And yes, there are the painless hemorrhoid treatments also available. Examples of which include utilize of petroleum jelly, the use of ointment phenylephrine or Preparation H, and even the easy employ of soft cotton underwear. These are typically painless for with them we don't have to go beneath the knife.

Since the largest cause of hemorrhoids is strained bowel movements and difficult stools (chronic constipation), several persons will find lengthy term relief from hemorrhoids by acquiring a solutions that enables them to "go" more frequently plus easily. Chronic irregularity is caused inside terrific part because as a society you are a fast food nation. We eat many processed food, plus not nearly enough natural or fresh foods. I challenge we to take a look at the labels on the food for "nutritional fiber content" should you suffer from constipation. My guess is the fact that there are on many foods we eat the dietary fiber content to be low.

Walter and I drifted apart in the following years and I developed certain minor hemorrhoid issues me. Every time my hemorrhoids flared-up it brought back memories of my friend Walter and his agony. I prayed which my minor flare-ups wouldn't ever cause surgery. I don't recognize if I may have prepared it through recognizing what I had enjoyed before.
