Light intensity This is measured in candela or candle-power. The intensity is determined to a large extent by the temperature reached by the burning composition. Intensity will increase exponentially as the flame temperature rises, provided that no decomposition of the emitting species occurs. [Pg.51]

The quantitative measurement of light intensity (candle power) at any instant and the light integral (total energy emitted, with units of candle-seconds/gram) can be affected by a variety of test parameters such as container diameter, burning rate, and the measuring equipment. Therefore, comparisons between data obtained from different reports should be viewed with caution. [Pg.187]

The marine animal waxes are both solid and liquid. The solid marine animal waxes are represented by a wax of considerable economic importance, namely spermaceti, derived from a concrete obtained from the head of the sperm whale. The liquid waxes of marine animals arc represented by speim oil obtained from the blubbei and cavities in the head of the sperm whale. Spermaceti is the wax used in the candle which defines our unit of candle power it is used chiefly as a base for ointments, cerates, etc. Sperm oil contains a considerable amount of esters made up of unsaturated alcohols and acids, both of which are susceptible to hydrogenation. Hydrogenated sperm oil is the equivalent of spermaceti wax and harder than the commercial pressed spermaceti. Both yield cetyl alcohol as the unsaponifiable. There is a fairly large demand for cetyl alcohol in the manufacture of lipstick, shampoo, and other cosmetics. Sperm oil itself is an excellent lubricant for lubricating spindles of cotton and woolen mills, or wherever there is need for a very light, limpid, nongummmg lubricant. [Pg.1747]

The units of light intensity are so numerous that we often become confused. But we have only one which we can measure, it is the luminosity, which is the same as the above luminous intensity of light. Other units are derived from the luminosity. The new unit of luminosity is the candela and 1 candle power equals 1.0l8 candelas. 1 candela means... [Pg.47]
