原子秒是时间单位。1原子秒(Atomic seconds)是铯—133原子基态的两个超精细能级之间跃迁所对应的辐射(电磁波)的9 192 631 770个周期持续的时间。
因此,时间和时间的相对性可以用任何沙漏、闹钟或原子钟来测量,其中原子钟可测量出十亿分之一秒。
Thus time and time's relativity are measurable by any hourglass, alarm clock, or atomic clock that can measure a billionth of a second.
放射性核素释放的能量减半需要的时间范围是几分之一秒到几百万年,取决于原子的类型。
The time required for the energy released by a radionuclide to decrease by half (i.e., the "half-life") range from tiny fractions of a second to millions of years depending on the type of atoms.
比如说,秒就是根据铯原子内部的电子跃迁时间来下的定义,而米的定义则和光速有关。
A second of time, for instance, is now defined in terms of an electron transition of the cesium atom. And the meter is tied to the speed of light.
