11. Show that S.I. unit of illuminance lux is equal to lumen/meter2 .


Illuminance is the luminous flux incident normally on unit area of the surface,

   E = straight ϕ over straight A = Lumen/ m2 

One lux is the illuminance on the inside of a sphere one metre at the centre of which a source of 1 C.P. is held.

Lux = Lumen/m2
