[Phys-L] Light bulb



If I get the chance (I need to do a bunch of grading today) I'll measure
it in my optics lab with a photodiode.

Hi Michael-
Turn it on while running a VCR and compare adjacent frames.

Don't be fooled here by a common circuit in the video camera. Just like
your eye, the video camera adjusts to light levels. It might well show a
rapid brightness surge followed by a drop to a "steady state" level.

I'll try to measure it today and post the results on the web.
