The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each option provided in the question regarding luminous flux, radiant flux, luminous intensity, power, and relative luminosity. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Luminous Flux and Radiant Flux:** - Luminous flux (Φ) is the measure of the perceived power of light and is measured in lumens (lm). The unit can also be expressed as candela per steradian (cd/sr). - Radiant flux (Φe) is the total amount of energy radiated per unit time and is measured in watts (W). - **Conclusion:** Since the units of luminous flux and radiant flux are different (lumens vs. watts), they do not have the same dimensions. - **Option A:** Incorrect. 2. **Understanding Luminous Flux and Luminous Intensity:** - Luminous intensity (I) is the amount of luminous flux emitted per unit solid angle and is measured in candelas (cd). - The relationship is such that luminous flux (Φ) can be expressed in terms of luminous intensity (I) and the solid angle (Ω) as Φ = I × Ω. - **Conclusion:** Luminous flux and luminous intensity do not have the same dimensions; they have different units. - **Option B:** Incorrect. 3. **Understanding Radiant Flux and Power:** - As previously mentioned, radiant flux is measured in watts (W), which is equivalent to joules per second (J/s). - Power is also defined as the rate of doing work or energy transfer per unit time, measured in watts (W). - **Conclusion:** Radiant flux and power have the same dimensions. - **Option C:** Correct. 4. **Understanding Relative Luminosity:** - Relative luminosity is defined as the ratio of the luminous flux of a light source to a reference luminous flux. Since it is a ratio of two quantities with the same units, it is dimensionless. - **Conclusion:** Relative luminosity is indeed a dimensionless quantity. - **Option D:** Correct. ### Final Answer: The correct options are: - **Option C:** Radiant flux and power have the same dimensions. - **Option D:** Relative luminosity is a dimensionless quantity.
