Yotta

In order to increase the precision of realization of the base unit meter, the definition based on the wavelength of a krypton-86 radiation was replaced in 1983 by one based on the speed of light. Also added were the prefixes zetta (Z) for 10, zepto (z) for 10 , yotta (Y) for 10 , and yocto (y) for 10 . [Pg.307]

SI is a decimal system. Fractions have been eliminated, and multiples and submultiples are formed by a system of prefixes ranging from yotta, for 10 , to yocto, for 10 . Calculations, therefore, are greatiy simplified. [Pg.307]
