Candela (English spelling)

Japanese: カンデラ(英語表記)candela
Candela (English spelling)
The SI base unit of luminous intensity, symbolized as cd. At the 1948 General Conference on Weights and Measures, 1 cd was defined as the luminous intensity perpendicular to the surface of a black body (1/600,000 of 1 m2 ) at 1 atmosphere pressure and at the freezing point of platinum, 1772 °C. The number 600,000 was adopted because it was almost the same as the candle, the previous unit of luminous intensity. The same conference later revised this definition in 1979, and defined the candela as the intensity of a light source emitting monochromatic radiation with a frequency of 540 × 10 12 Hz in a direction where the radiant intensity is 1/683 W sr -1 . The unit name comes from the Latin candela (candle).

光度の SI基本単位で,記号は cd。 1948年の国際度量衡総会で,1cdは1気圧下,白金の凝固点 1772℃にある黒体の平らな表面 (1m2の 60万分の1) の垂直方向の光度と定められた。 60万という数字が採用されたのは,従来の光度の単位である燭にほぼ一致させるためであった。その後 79年の同総会においてこの定義を全面的に改め,カンデラは周波数 540×1012Hz の単色放射を放出する光源の,放射強度が 1/683W・sr-1 である方向における強度,と定められた。単位名はラテン語のカンデーラ (ろうそく) に由来する。
