Abstract

It is particularly important to know the nature and extent of the variations of the luminous intensity of fluorescent lamps during one cycle of the mains voltage (stroboscopic effect). As the oscilloscope is actually a voltage indicator, a photocell for supplying a voltage proportional to the luminous intensity or to the variation of luminous intensity has to be used to observe the behaviour of light. The basic circuit for this type of investigation is shown in Fig. 14-1.
