SI unit definitions
In order that each of the SI units and quantities can be standardised across the globe, it is necessary to have exact definitions of each of them. While it is unlikely that these definitions of the SI units will be used in anything but a standards laboratory, they are often useful to see and know.
- Metre: The metre is the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 second.
- Kilogram: The kilogram is the unit of mass equal to the mass of the international prototype of kilogram.
- Second: The second is the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyper fine levers (F=4, mF=0 to F=3, mF=0) of the ground state of the cesium 133 atom.
- Ampere: The ampere is the constant current which, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length, of negligible circular cross-section, and placed 1 metre apart in vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force equal to 2x10-7 Newton per meter of length
- Kelvin: The Kelvin, unit of thermodynamic temperature is the fraction 1/273.16 of the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water.
- Mole: The mole is the mount of substance of a system which contains as many elementary entities as there are atoms in .012 kg of carbon 12 (about 6.022x1023 atoms). When the mole is used, the elementary entities must be specified and may be atoms, molecules, ions, electrons, other particles, or specified groups of such particles.
- Candela: The candela is the luminous intensity, in a given direction, of a source that emits monochromatic radiation of frequency 540x1012 Hz and that has a radiant intensity in that direction of 1/683 watt per steradian.
Base quantities in the si system are:
The SI base units are the standard units of measurement defined by the International System of Units (SI) for the seven base quantities of what is now known as the International System of Quantities; they serve as a foundation from which all other SI units can be derived.
