Candela one candela. If emission in some directions is blocked by an opaque barrier, the emission would still be approximately one candela in the directions that are not obscured. The word "candela" means "candle" in Latin. Like most other SI base units, the candela has an operational definition—it is defined by a description of a physical process that will produce one candela of luminous intensity. Since the 16th General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1979, the candela has been defined as: The candela is the luminous intensity, in a given direction, of a source that emits monochromatic radiation of
Complete measure Naïvely, we would take the "σ"-algebra on R to be "B" ⊗ "B", the smallest "σ"-algebra containing all measurable "rectangles" "A" × "A" for "A" ∈ "B". While this approach does define a measure space, it has a flaw. Since every singleton set has one-dimensional Lebesgue measure zero, for "any" subset "A" of R. However, suppose that "A" is a non-measurable subset of the real line, such as the Vitali set. Then the "λ"-measure of {0} × "A" is not defined, but and this larger set does have "λ"-measure zero. So, this "two-dimensional Lebesgue measure" as just defined is not
