LIGHT AND SIGHT (Chapter 2) Light Wavelength Color temperature Kelvin Blackbody Velocity Correlated color temperature (CCT) (Additional information) Color temperature of a light source that matches the chromaticity of a “true” color Chromaticity (Additional information) A measure of the proportions of different primary colors in a color mixture Color rendering index (CRI) (Additional information) A measure of the effect of the light source on the true color of objects A CRI of 100 means that the light source does not distort the true color of the objects Some typical color temperatures (Additional information) 1500 k: Candlelight 2680 k: 40 W incandescent lamp 3000 k: 200 W incandescent lamp 3200 k: Sunrise/sunset 3400 k: Tungsten lamp 3400 k: 1 hour from dusk/dawn 5000-4500 k: Xenon lamp/light arc 5500 k: Sunny daylight around noon 5500-5600 k: Electronic photo flash 6500-7500 k: Overcast sky 9000-12000 k: Blue sky LIGHT AND SIGHT (Chapter 2) Sight Adaptation Field of vision (Additional information) The surroundings taken in by an observers eyes, when the eyes and head dont move, is defined as the field of vision. It may sometimes be desirable to minimize movement of the eyes and head during assembly or inspection operations. Angles involved in the field of vision are: Central (2°): A very small area involving the central part of the retina, called fovea, that provide highly detailed vision. Near field (60° ): This area is a cone of binocular vision of 30° half-angle. It provides coarser or semi-detailed site information. Far field and peripheral (120° -145°): This area lies beyond the central part of the retina and provides primarily horizontal, monocular vision. This cone of vision gives very loose, subjective information about surroundings.
