MEASUREMENTS UNITS - METER

Meter: - Meter is 1,650, 763.73 times the wavelength of the orange light in vacuum emitted by 36K86 (Krypton) in the transition 2p10 to 5d5. The meter is length of the path travelled by the light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second. (1983). It is denoted by m.

Units of Meter: SI

1 meter (m) = 100 centimeters (cm)

1 meter = 1000 millimeters (mm)

1 meter = 10 decimeters (dm)

10 meter = 1 decameter (dm)

10 decameter = 1 hectometer (hm)

10 hectometers = 1 kilometer (km)

1 km (kilometer) = 1000m= 103 m

1 hm (hectometer)= 100m= 102 m

1 cm (centimeter) = 10mm = 10-2 m

1 fermi = 1f = 10-15 m

1 angstrom = 1A0 = 10-10 m

1 astronomical Unit = 1 AU (distance of the sun from the Earth =1.496×10-11 m

1 light year = 9.46×1015 m (distance that light travels with velocity of 3 ×108 m s-1 in 1 year)

1 parsec = 3.08×1016 m (distance corresponding to an annual parallax of one second).
