Module II
13 a) State and explain the laws of illumination (6)
b) The candle power of a source is 300 candela in all directions below the (8)
lamp. The mounting height of the lamp is 6 m. Find the illumination at a point:
i). A just below the lamp.
ii). B which is 4 m horizontally away from the lamp on the ground.

ground
Luminance is a measure of the brightness or intensity of light emitted or reflected from a surface in a given direction. It is
often measured in candela per square meter (cd/m²). OR
L=(E.R)/PI
Illuminance is the amount of luminous flux received per unit area on a surface, usually measured in lux (lm/m²).
14 a) Discuss the method to calculate the luminance and illumination due to a round (5)
use cosine law
source
b) Explain the concept of polar curves and calculation of MSCP using Rousseau's (9)
curve

15 a) Explain the design considerations while illuminating staircase and corridors (7)
b) The front of a building 30 × 12 m is illuminated by 20 ,1000-W lamps arranged (7)
so that uniform illumination on the surface is obtained. Assuming a luminous
efficiency of 40 lumens/W and a coefficient of utilization of 0.65. Determine the
illumination on the surface. Assume DF = 1.3 and waste light factor 1.2.
OR
