How do you measure incident light?

Best Answer

Incident light is the light that falls from the source onto the subject. It is usually measured with a hand-held instrument (often digital, these days) called an incident-light meter. Readings are usually taken from the subject's position, with the receptor-cell of the meter facing back toward the camera. Some incident-light meters are dedicated to that function. Others can measure "reflected" light (light that is reflected from the subject) and have a module for measuring incident light as well.

Do opaque object absorbs all the incident light on it?

Be careful not to confuse: Opaque objects are those that do not allow light to pass through it, but they can reflect light. It is BLACK objects that absorb all the incident light on it. To conclude, opaque objects do not necessarily absorb all the incident light on them but black objects ABSORB all the incident light on them (and are, of course, opaque)


How does incident light emerge from a prism?

Incident light hits a prism, refracted or reflected light emerges from it. In what manner it is different from the incident light depends on the angle of incidence and the angles of the prism. Commonly it may be refracted, dispersed or reflected back.

No light will be reflected, since there is no incident green light to reflect. To a human observer, the surface will appear black.
