Calibration(of different units of intensity) for Tmaze and Joystick platform

- For the Joystick experiment – We continuously varied the light intensity at the tip of the optical fibre and measured it using the Lux meter at first and then in mW/cm^2. Then both these readings were taken down and the best fit was generated which depicted the measured fit. Now a theoretical fit was also generated and plotted. This is given below
- We also did the best fit for the Tmaze experimental setup. We measured the light intensity on both sides of the chamber in between and took the average of it.
- The Information for plotting the theoretical fit was obtained from here: https://www.dfisica.ubi.pt/~hgil/Fotometria/HandBook/ch07.html
## 1 Watt = 517.031 lm at 590 nm
## 1 lux = 1 lm/m2
## Therefore: 517.031 lux = 517.031 lm/m2 = 1 Watt/m2 = 1000mW/mm2 = 10mW/cm2
