a) List as many sources as possible that could be sending light to illuminate the page you are reading.

b) Indicate which of the sources are luminous and which of the sources are reflecting light (R) to the page?

7. Explain what you think would be the result of using a light probe to monitor the illuminance if you were to walk through a room in which many candles were placed on small tables spaced evenly throughout the room.

8. If 50 fc of illuminance is required for a particular task, at what minimum distance from a 450 cd point source of light should the person doing the task be located?
