Luminous Flux Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Luminous Flux = (Area of Illumination*Luminous Intensity)/(Length of Illumination^2)
F = (A*I_v)/(L^2)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Luminous Flux - (Measured in Lumen) - Luminous flux is a measure of the total amount of light emitted by a light source in all directions. It quantifies the overall brightness or output of the source.
Area of Illumination - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of illumination refers to the size or extent of the space covered by light from a source, determining the reach and coverage of light in that area.
Luminous Intensity - (Measured in Candela) - Luminous intensity is a measure of the amount of light emitted by a light source in a specific direction. It quantifies the brightness or concentration of light in that direction.
Length of Illumination - (Measured in Meter) - Length of illumination refers to the duration or period of time that a lighting system or light source remains turned on and provides illumination before being switched off or replaced.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Area of Illumination: 41 Square Meter --> 41 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Luminous Intensity: 4.62 Candela --> 4.62 Candela No Conversion Required
Length of Illumination: 2.1 Meter --> 2.1 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F = (A*I_v)/(L^2) --> (41*4.62)/(2.1^2)

Evaluating ... ...

F = 42.952380952381

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

42.952380952381 Lumen --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

42.952380952381 ≈ 42.95238 Lumen <-- Luminous Flux
