Abstract

This paper discusses methods of converting radiant quantities to luminous quantities and luminous quantities to radiant quantities. The constants are analyzed that enter into the calculational formulas given in various literature sources. A formula is proposed making it possible when an absolute blackbody is used as a radiation source to convert radiant quantities into luminous quantities and luminous quantities into radiant quantities without using numerical integration.
