Engineering ratios

Lighting ratio

Lighting ratio in photography refers to the comparison of key light (the main source of light from which shadows fall) to the fill light (the light that fills in the shadow areas). The higher the lighting ratio, the higher the contrast of the image; the lower the ratio, the lower the contrast. Since the lighting ratio is the ratio of the light levels on the brightest lit to the least lit parts of the subject, and the brightest lit are lit by both key (K) and fill (F), therefore the lighting ratio is properly (K+F):F although for contrast ratios of 4:1 or more, then K:F is sufficiently accurate. Light can be measured in footcandles. A key light of 200 footcandles and a fill light of 100 footcandles have a 3:1 ratio (a ratio of three to one) whereas a keylight of 800 footcandles and a fill light of 200 footcandles has a ratio of 4:1 according to the lighting ratio formula. The ratio can be determined in relation to F stops since each increase in f-stop is equal to double the amount of light: 2 to the power of the difference in f stops is equal to the first factor in the ratio. For example, a difference in two f-stops between key and fill is 2 squared, or 4:1 ratio. A difference in 3 stops is 2 cubed, or an 8:1 ratio. No difference is equal to 2 to the power of 0, for a 1:1 ratio. In situations such as motion picture lighting sometimes the lighting ratio is described as key plus fill to fill alone. A light meter can automatically calculate the ratio of key plus fill to fill alone. (Wikipedia).

Teach Astronomy - Cosmic Mass to Light Ratio

http://www.teachastronomy.com/ Another way to look at the mass density of the universe is in terms of the cosmic mass to light ratio. Mass to light ratio is defined as the ratio of the mass, in solar units, to the luminosity, in solar units, so for the Sun by definition M over L is one.

Refraction (1 of 5) What is Refraction? An Explanation

Refraction, A conceptual qualitative explanation. Refraction is the change in direction of a ray of light as it passes from one medium to another. The amount of refraction is determined by the index of refraction of the media and the angle of incidence. For light, refraction follows Snell
