Question
I don’t understand this question. Professor told me to show my work if possible. Thank you in advance.
**Exercise 12.30: Calculating Light Efficacy**

Calculate the efficacy for the following lights:

(a) Sylvania accent LED light, which uses 2 watts and produces 60 lumens.

(b) Sylvania 40 W CFL, which uses 9 watts and produces 495 lumens.

**Explanation:**

Light efficacy is a measure of how efficiently a light source produces visible light, expressed in lumens per watt (lm/W). To calculate the efficacy, use the formula:

\[ \text{Efficacy} = \frac{\text{Lumens}}{\text{Watts}} \]

- For the Sylvania accent LED light:
  \[ \text{Efficacy} = \frac{60 \text{ lumens}}{2 \text{ watts}} = 30 \, \text{lm/W} \]

- For the Sylvania 40 W CFL:
  \[ \text{Efficacy} = \frac{495 \text{ lumens}}{9 \text{ watts}} = 55 \, \text{lm/W} \]
