minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•9 months agoI’m not sure about the easy-to-show part, but take a look at the Brightness Theorem / Conservation of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etendue if you want to learn more.
minus-squareRedjardlinkfedilinkEnglish3•9 months agoThe easy to show part was the second sentence of my comment. This is really useful physics trivia, because the basic truth is easy to show from a simple law, but the detailed explanations go quite in-depth. With lenses, you trade bewteen angular accuracy and light density. For a challenge, try it with LEDs. Where do you find the source “temperature”, you can get from focusing an LEDs light?

Thats definitely hugely relevant, yes.
