Metrum

Metrum (-i, n.; Graece: μέτρον, via Francogallice mètre) est mensura principalis (Anglice: base unit) longitudinis, una ex septem principalibus physicae mensuris in Internationali Unitarum Systemate (Anglice: International System of Units). Definitio, primum excogitatum ut 10 000 000 pars spatii ab aequatore ad Polum Septentrionalem, continenter expolitur ut auctum metrologiae scitae implicet. Post die 21 Octobris 1983, metrum definitur ut spatium a luce transitum in vacuo 299 792 458 parte secundi.

Anno 1793 metrum primum definitum fit. Definitio erat metrum esse partem ${\displaystyle 1/40000000}$  meridiani orbis, qui Lutetiam percurrit. Anno 1795 primum exemplar in metallo orichalco factum et anno 1799 exemplar finale, quod "metrum ordiale" nominatur, in metallo platino funditum est.

Mensurae exactiores telluris in saeculo undevicensimo effectae monstrabant priorem mensuram falsam fuisse. Novum exemplar necessarium erat. Hoc anno, 1889, ab officiis mundi ponderum et mensuris in metallis platino (90%) et iridio (10%) funditum est.

Ab anno 1960 usque ad annum 1983 metrum erat pars producti ${\displaystyle 1650763,73}$  longitudinis undae in vacuo quae atomus Cryptonis-86 inter affectiones 5d5 et 2p10 mutans generat.

Hodierna

Ab anno 1983, metrum definitur ut spatium quod lumen in vacuo in parte ${\displaystyle 1/299792458}$  secundi percurrit, ut velocitas lucis subtiliter definita sit sequenti modo

${\displaystyle c=299792458\;\mathrm {m} /\mathrm {s} }$ 

chiliometrum = 1000 metrorum
decimetrum = 1/10 metri
centimetrum = 1/100 metri
millimetrum = 1/1000 metri
micrometrum (micron) = 1/1 000 000 metri
nanometrum = 10^-9 metri
picometrum = 10^-12 metri
femtometrum = 10^-15 metri
