The standard of time in SI system is the clock of:
Correct answer: C. Cesium
- A. Uranium
- B. Rubidium
- C. Cesium
- D. Radium
Explanation
The definition of a second in the SI system is based on the properties of cesium atoms. It's determined by the frequency of radiation that cesium atoms emit when transitioning between two specific energy levels. This consistent and precise measurement of atomic vibrations forms the basis for the standard unit of time, ensuring worldwide uniformity and accuracy.
