| 释义 | metre Symbol m. The SI unit of length, being the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/(2.99792458 × 108) second. This definition, adopted by the General Conference on Weights and Measures in October, 1983, replaced the 1967 definition based on the krypton lamp, i.e. 1650 763.73 wavelengths in a vacuum of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the levels 2p10 and 5d5 of the nuclide krypton–86. This definition (in 1958) replaced the older definition of a metre based on a platinum-iridium bar of standard length.

However, the original geodetic surveys proved the impractibility of such a standard and the original platinum metre bar, the mètre des archives , was constructed in 1793 |
