Write a note on $SI$ (Systeme Internationale) units.
(N/A) The $SI$ (Systeme Internationale d'Unites) is the internationally accepted system of units.
- It is the modern form of the metric system and is abbreviated as $SI$.
- The $SI$ system consists of $7$ fundamental physical quantities: length,mass,time,electric current,thermodynamic temperature,amount of substance,and luminous intensity.
- These fundamental quantities,along with their units and symbols,were established and recommended by the General Conference on Weights and Measures $(CGPM)$ in $1971$ for international use in scientific,technical,and commercial fields.
- The $SI$ system is based on the decimal system,which makes conversions between units simple and convenient.

View SolutionThe new $SI$ unit of mass $1 \, kg$ is defined in terms of the difference in the masses of two ${}^{133}Cs_{55}$ atoms. One of these atoms is in its ground state and the other is in an excited state that has a frequency of excitation close to $9.2 \times 10^9 \, Hz$. The number of atoms required to get $1 \, kg$ of mass this way is of the order of (Planck's constant = $6.63 \times 10^{-34} \, J \cdot s$; mass of proton = $1.67 \times 10^{-27} \, kg$; Avogadro number = $6.02 \times 10^{23} \, \text{particles}$; speed of light = $3 \times 10^8 \, m/s$).
