B. the frequency of light emitted by Kr86
C. the yearly revolution of the earth about the sun
D. a precision pendulum clock
E. none of these
Ans: E
2. A nanosecond is:
A. 109 s
B. 10−9 s
C. 10−10 s
D. 10−10 s
E. 10−12
Ans: B

B. wavelength of light emitted by Hg198
C. wavelength of light emitted by Kr86
D. a precision meter stick in Paris
E. the speed of light
Ans: E
4. In 1866, the U. S. Congress defined the U. S. yard as exactly 3600/3937 international meter.

A. length can be measured more accurately in meters than in yards
B. the meter is more stable than the yard
C. this definition relates the common U. S. length units to a more widely used system
D. there are more wavelengths in a yard than in a meter
E. the members of this Congress were exceptionally intelligent
