Examples
- Photometry is a fundamental tool in astronomy for determining the properties of celestial objects by measuring the light they emit or reflect.
- The new spectrophotometer was specifically designed for photometry measurements of high-intensity light sources in various applications.
- To calibrate the device, a team of scientists performed extensive photometry on a wide range of standard light sources with known properties.
- Photometry can also be used to determine the concentration of particles or substances in a solution by measuring the light absorption or transmission.
- By analyzing the results of the photometry, researchers were able to quantify the amount of radiation emitted by the laser source with high accuracy.
