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
| title = Base unit definitions: Candela
| work = The [[NIST]] Reference on Constants, Units, and Uncertainty
| url = http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/candela.html
| accessdate =27 September 2010
}}</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.

If you require to speed up a PC then we have come to the right area. I will show we, now, five fast methods to dramatically better the computer's performance.

If it happens to be not because big of a issue as you think it is very, it may possibly be resolved easily by running a Startup Repair or by System Restore Utility. Again it may be because effortless because running an anti-virus check or cleaning the registry.

The error is basically a result of problem with Windows Installer package. The Windows Installer is a tool selected to install, uninstall and repair the most programs on your computer. Let us discuss a limited points which helped a lot of persons who facing the synonymous issue.

The 1328 error is a normal issue caused by your system being unable to properly procedure various changes for your program or Microsoft Office. If you have this error, it generally means which your computer is either unable to read the actual update file or your computer has difficulties with all the settings it's using to run. To fix this issue, you initially want to change / fix any difficulties which a computer has with its update files, plus then repair any of the issues that a program may have.

The second step to fixing these mistakes is to use a program called a "zookaware" to scan through the computer plus fix some of the registry errors that might also be leading to the error. A registry cleaner is a software program that may scan through a computer plus repair any of the problems which Windows has inside, permitting the computer to "remember" all of the settings it has when it loads up. Although the registry is continually being employed to aid load up a big amount of programs on a PC, it's continually being saved incorrectly - leading to a large number of errors to be formed. To fix this problem, it's suggested you download a registry cleaner within the Internet plus install it on the Pc, allowing Windows to run smoother again.

You should moreover see with it it is easy to download plus install. We could avoid those products which will need you a extremely complicated set of instructions. Furthermore, you should no longer require any alternative program needs.

Your registry is the place all the significant configurations for hardware, software plus consumer profile configurations and preferences are stored. Every time 1 of these elements is changed, the database then begins to expand. Over time, the registry can become bloated with unwanted files. This causes a general slow down however in extreme cases may cause important jobs and programs to stop working all together.

Registry products will aid your computer run in a better mode. Registry products could be part of the standard scheduled repair system for the computer. You don't have to wait forever for the computer or the programs to load plus run. A small maintenance usually bring back the speed we lost.
