A light meter is used to measure the intensity of the light entering the camera and is used to help the photographer expose a "correct" exposure. I put quotes around "correct" because the photographer can choose to ignore the light meter to make an exposure that they want. if they want a darker image, they will increase the shutter speed even if the camera is telling them to decrease it. With this exercise, by pointing the camera at different objects in the scene and taking the "correct" light meter reading, and applying it to the entire image, should result in the original object being a middle grey.
