    The luminous efficiency of a lamp is 4 lumen/W and its luminous intensity is 30 Cd The power of lamp is:

    A)  60 W                    

    B)         78 W

    C)  94 W                    

    D)         136 W

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    In photometry luminous flux or luminous power is the measure of the perceived power of light. One lumen is defined as the luminous flux of light produced by a light source that emits one candela of luminous intensity over a solid angle of one steradian. \[F=4\pi I=4\times 3.14\times 30=377\,\text{lumen}\] \[\text{Power}\,\text{of}\,\text{lamp}\,\text{=}\,\,\frac{\text{luminous}\,\text{flux}}{\text{luminous}\,\text{efficiency}}\]                 \[=\frac{377}{4}\approx 94\,W\]
