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。
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.
本周三晚23点59分59秒(美国东部时间早6点59分59秒),全世界所有的原子钟会把这一天拨慢一秒。
Eastern time, atomic clocks around the world will add one second to the day.
