Convert phot to lux

Learn how to convert 1 phot to lux step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (p h o t) = x (l u x)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(l u x)

Left side: 1.0 (p h o t) = 10^{4} (l u x) = 10^{4} (l x)

Right side: 1.0 (l u x) = 1.0 (l u x) = 1.0 (l x)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (p h o t) = x (l u x)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 10^{4} \times (l u x) = x \times 1.0 \times (l u x)

Or

1.0 \cdot 10^{4} \cdot (l x) = x \cdot 1.0 \cdot (l x)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 10^{4} \cdot (l x) = x \times 1.0 \times (l x)

Conversion Equation

10^{4} = x \times 1.0

Simplify

10^{4} = x

Switch sides

x = 10^{4}

Solve

x

x = 10000 = 1 \times 10^{4}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (p h o t) = 1 \times 10^{4} (l u x)
