191 a. A 50-mW He-Cd lascr emits at 441.6 nm. A 4-mW He
Ne laser emits at 632.8 nm. Using Figure 19-2, compare
the relative brightness of the two laser beams of equal
dIameter when projectcd side by side on a white piece
of paper. Assume photopic vision.
b. What power argon laser emitting at 488 nm is required
to match the brightness of a D.S-mW He-Ne green laser
Figure and caption is from Wikipedia:
at 543.5 nm under the conditions of (a)? http://en.wikipedia.orglwiki/Luminosity function

Photopic (black) and scotopic (green) luminosity functions. The photopic includes the CIE 1931 standard
(solid), the Judd-Vos 1978 modified data (dashed), and the Sharpe, Stockman, Jagla & Jagle 2005 data
(dotted). The horizontal axis is wavelength in nm.

driveway is illuminated at night by identical lamps at the
top of two poles 30 [t high and 40ft apart. Assuming the
lamps radiate equally in all directions, compare the illumi
nance at ground level for points directly undcr one lamp
and midway between them.
