Absolutely. Photographic light meters are designed to measure light for photographic exposure (in a film-speed/shutter-speed/aperture combination), but many hand-held photo light meters can measure light in footcandles, which is a common scale. If you look on places like eBay, you can find inexpensive, digital, brand new meters which read out in Lux or Lumens. Some may read in footcandles as well. It's not difficult to convert from one measure to another (there should be internet calculators which would do it easily).

What equipment do you used to measure sound?
Hertz is used to measure sound frequency (how high or low the sound is). Decibels are used to measure how loud or soft a sound is.
Are decibels imperial or metric?
Decibels are a logarithmic measure of a factor or a ratio and that has really nothing to do with metric or imperal.
What is the unit of sound to measure?
by loudness decibels by frequency hertz by wavelength any power of meter
How would you measure noise?
decibels
How many decibels is a normal conversion?
That depends how close you measure to the speaker. The closer - the louder! The distance is very important if you measure with a sound pressure level meter. In 1 meter distance the sound pressure level is arround 60 decibels SPL.
A decibel is a unit used to measure the?
decibels measure the intensity of sound.
Which of the units is used to measure intensity of noise?
"Decibels"
What is the unit used to measure sound level?
Decibels
What Unit is used to measure the noise of a rock band?
Decibels
Unit used to measure volume of sound?
That is commonly measured in decibels.
What equipment do you used to measure sound?
Hertz is used to measure sound frequency (how high or low the sound is). Decibels are used to measure how loud or soft a sound is.
You want to measure how much louder 95 decibels is than the threshold of sound?
Take a sound pressure level meter and measure it. 95 decibels means over the is 0 decibels is the threshold of hearing. 95 decibels means the measure over 0 decibels.
Loudness or sound level is measure in units called?
decibels
Is decibels are used to measure sound's intensity?
yes it dose because I looked in my science
What is the scale used to define sound intensities?
Take a sound pressure level meter (SPL meter). Try to measure the sound pressure p in pascals or in decibels, referred to the threshold of hearing with 20 micropascals.
How many decibels is a drum kit?
A drum kit is no decibels. The decibels depends how close you measure to the bat. The closer - the louder! And the louder you play the more decibels you get. The distance is very important if you measure with a sound pressure level meter.
What could you measure in decibels?
sound
