Candela frequency and that has a radiant intensity in that direction of watt per steradian. The definition describes how to produce a light source that (by definition) emits one candela, but does not specify the luminosity function for weighting radiation at other frequencies. Such a source could then be used to calibrate instruments designed to measure luminous intensity with reference to a specified luminosity function. An appendix to the SI Brochure makes it clear that the luminosity function is not uniquely specified, but must be selected to fully define the candela. The candela is sometimes still called by the old name
Content (measure theory) by This is an outer measure, in other words it has the following properties: The function μ above is an outer measure on the family of all subsets. Therefore it becomes a measure when restricted to the measurable subsets for the outer measure, which are the subsets "E" such that μ("X") = μ("X"∩"E") + μ("X"\"E") for all subsets "X". If the space is locally compact then every open set is measurable for this measure. The measure μ does not necessarily coincide with the content λ on compact sets, However it does if λ is regular in the sense that for
