Hi all! I made this contour map from an image of a concentrated sunlight into a focal spot. Image on the left is a contour map and the right is the 3D version of it. The current axis scaling is incorrect.
I know that the total power received is 7.2kW. The tip has the highest input power indicated in the yellow region and reduces towards the sides (blue regions).
I am not sure how I should approach it, my gut instincts tells me that the volume in the 2nd Image is = 7.2kW and if I can add up the number of cubes for a specific region, it should tell me the intensity of light?
Any suggestions/advice is appreciated!
The attached file is the matrix of the image.
