[something] is measured in [candles]
Early photometric measurements sometimes used the candle as a unit of luminous intensity.
A korai fotometriai mérésekben néha a gyertyát használták a fényerősség egységeként.
The brightness was originally specified in candles rather than candelas.
A fényerősséget eredetileg gyertyában, nem pedig kandelában adták meg.
Older texts may refer to "candle power" when describing the strength of a lamp.
শিক্ষার্থীদের জন্য উদাহরণ
In the past, scientists used the candle as a light unit.
Régen a tudósok a gyertyát használták a fényerősség egységeként.
The old book says the lamp has ten candles of power.
A régi könyv szerint a lámpa fényereje tíz gyertyának felel meg.
Today we use candelas instead of candles for light strength.

Learners may confuse this technical noun with the everyday wax candle. In scientific texts, "candle" here refers to a measurement unit, not the physical object you burn for light.
অর্থ
old unit of light intensity
কলোকেশন
measured in candles
|candle power
|several candles of intensity
সমার্থক শব্দ
