Motion Intervention Booklet 1 Random uncertainties have no pattern. They can cause a reading to be higher or lower than the “true value”. Systematic uncertainties have a pattern. They cause readings to be consistently too high or consistently too low. 2 The uncertainty in repeat readings is found from “half the range” and is given to 1 significant figure. Time / s Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3 Mean 1.23 1.20 1.28 Mean time = 1.23 + 1.20 + 1.28 = 1.23666666 => 1.24 (original data is to 2dp, so 3 the mean is to 2 dp as well) Range = 1.20 1.28. Uncertainty is ½ × (1.28 – 1.20) = ½ × 0.08 = ± 0.04 s 3 The speed at which a person can walk, run or cycle depends on many factors including: age, terrain, fitness and distance travelled. The speed of a moving object usually changes while it’s moving. Typical values for speeds may be taken as: walking: 1.5 m/s running: 3 m/s cycling: 6 m/s sound in air: 330 m/s 4 Scalar quantities have magnitude only. Speed is a scaler, eg speed = 30 m/s. Vector quantities have magnitude and direction. Velocity is a vector, eg velocity = 30 m/s north. Distance is how far something moves, it doesn’t involve direction. The displacement at a point is how far something is from the start point, in a straight line, including the direction. It doesn’t make any difference how far the object has moved in order to get to that point. -

Glossary of Terms
GLOSSARY OF TERMS Terminology Used for Ultraviolet (UV) Curing Process Design and Measurement This glossary of terms has been assembled in order to provide users, formulators, suppliers and researchers with terms that are used in the design and measurement of UV curing systems. It was prompted by the scattered and sometimes incorrect terms used in industrial UV curing technologies. It is intended to provide common and technical meanings as used in and appropriate for UV process design, measurement, and specification. General scientific terms are included only where they relate to UV Measurements. The object is to be "user-friendly," with descriptions and comments on meaning and usage, and minimum use of mathematical and strict definitions, but technically correct. Occasionally, where two or more terms are used similarly, notes will indicate the preferred term. For historical and other reasons, terms applicable to UV Curing may vary slightly in their usage from other sciences. This glossary is intended to 'close the gap' in technical language, and is recommended for authors, suppliers and designers in UV Curing technologies. absorbance An index of the light or UV absorbed by a medium compared to the light transmitted through it. Numerically, it is the logarithm of the ratio of incident spectral irradiance to the transmitted spectral irradiance. It is unitless number. Absorbance implies monochromatic radiation, although it is sometimes used as an average applied over a specified wavelength range. absorptivity (absorption coefficient) Absorbance per unit thickness of a medium. actinometer A chemical system or physical device that determines the number of photons in a beam integrally or per unit time. -

Radiometry and Photometry
Radiometry and Photometry Wei-Chih Wang Department of Power Mechanical Engineering National TsingHua University W. Wang Materials Covered • Radiometry - Radiant Flux - Radiant Intensity - Irradiance - Radiance • Photometry - luminous Flux - luminous Intensity - Illuminance - luminance Conversion from radiometric and photometric W. Wang Radiometry Radiometry is the detection and measurement of light waves in the optical portion of the electromagnetic spectrum which is further divided into ultraviolet, visible, and infrared light. Example of a typical radiometer 3 W. Wang Photometry All light measurement is considered radiometry with photometry being a special subset of radiometry weighted for a typical human eye response. Example of a typical photometer 4 W. Wang Human Eyes Figure shows a schematic illustration of the human eye (Encyclopedia Britannica, 1994). The inside of the eyeball is clad by the retina, which is the light-sensitive part of the eye. The illustration also shows the fovea, a cone-rich central region of the retina which affords the high acuteness of central vision. Figure also shows the cell structure of the retina including the light-sensitive rod cells and cone cells. Also shown are the ganglion cells and nerve fibers that transmit the visual information to the brain. Rod cells are more abundant and more light sensitive than cone cells. Rods are 5 sensitive over the entire visible spectrum. W. Wang There are three types of cone cells, namely cone cells sensitive in the red, green, and blue spectral range. The approximate spectral sensitivity functions of the rods and three types or cones are shown in the figure above 6 W. Wang Eye sensitivity function The conversion between radiometric and photometric units is provided by the luminous efficiency function or eye sensitivity function, V(λ). -
