The formula to calculate the Color Temperature (T) is:
\[ T = \frac{2 \times 10^6}{\lambda} \]
Where:
Let's say the wavelength (\( \lambda \)) is 500 nm. Using the formula:
\[ T = \frac{2 \times 10^6}{500} \]
We get:
\[ T = 4000 \text{ K} \]
So, the Color Temperature (\( T \)) is 4000 K.
Color temperature is a characteristic of visible light that describes the hue of the light source. It is measured in Kelvin (K) and is used to describe the warmth or coolness of a light source. Lower color temperatures (around 2000-3000K) produce a warm, yellowish light, while higher color temperatures (above 5000K) produce a cool, bluish light. Color temperature is an important factor in photography, videography, and lighting design, as it affects the mood and appearance of a scene.
