    Gy = J/kg = ⁠ kg m 2 /s 2 / kg ⁠ = m 2 /s 2; S = 1/Ω = ⁠ 10 −7 s / k A m ⁠ H = Ω s = 10 7 k A m; Because the magnitude of many of the units composing the SI system of measurement was until 2019 defined by its mass, the quality of the IPK was diligently protected to preserve the integrity of the SI system.

  3. List of physical constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_physical_constants

    The constants listed here are known values of physical constants expressed in SI units; that is, physical quantities that are generally believed to be universal in nature and thus are independent of the unit system in which they are measured.

  4. Standard (metrology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_(metrology)

    The international prototype of the kilogram (IPK) is an artefact or prototype that was defined to have a mass of exactly one kilogram.. In metrology (the science of measurement), a standard (or etalon) is an object, system, or experiment that bears a defined relationship to a unit of measurement of a physical quantity. [1]

  5. Natural units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units

    In physics, natural unit systems are measurement systems for which selected physical constants have been set to 1 through nondimensionalization of physical units.For example, the speed of light c may be set to 1, and it may then be omitted, equating mass and energy directly E = m rather than using c as a conversion factor in the typical mass–energy equivalence equation E = mc 2.

  8. Absorption cross section - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_cross_section

    More generally, the term cross-section is used in physics to quantify the probability of a certain particle-particle interaction, e.g., scattering, electromagnetic absorption, etc. (Note that light in this context is described as consisting of particles, i.e., photons.) A typical absorption cross-section has units of cm 2 ⋅molecule −1.

  9. Berkeley Physics Course - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Physics_Course

    There was a parallel series of laboratory courses developed by Alan Portis. [5] The Heathkit company marketed a line of its electronic instruments which had been adapted for use with Berkeley series of lab manuals. [6]: 149 The series was translated into a number of foreign languages. [7]
