Why has second been defined is terms of periods of radiations from cesium -133?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Second has been is accurately defined
(i) This period is not affected by change of physical conditions like temperature. Pressure and volume etc.
(iii) The unit is easily reproducible in any good laboratory.
