What is the definition of a yoctosecond?

A yoctosecond is a unit of time equal to one septillionth of a second, or 10^-24 seconds. It is one of the smallest units of time measurement in the International System of Units (SI).


What is the name of the shortest unit of time?

10 to the power of −44 (tP) is known as Planck time. It is the unit of time for some natural systems. 10 to the power of −24 yoctosecond is one quadrillionth of a second.


Do radiowaves have long or short wave length?

Radio waves typically have long wavelengths ranging from several millimeters to several meters. Their long wavelengths enable them to travel long distances and penetrate obstacles such as buildings, making them useful for communication over long distances.


Does piano have a long or short vowel sound?

The word "piano" has a long vowel sound. In this case, the letter "i" is pronounced as a long "ee" sound, as in the word "bee." This is because the letter "i" is followed by a single vowel at the end of the word, which typically results in a long vowel sound.


What is the smallest unit of measurement in time?

They just divide up seconds, into milli- micro- nano- etc. It's possible that the shortest interval of time is 10 to the -43 power seconds ... if time is discreet. Further details: The smallest measurable and meaningful unit of time is Planck time. In physics, this is equal to the time it takes for light to travel, in a vacuum, a distance of 1 Planck length. However, since most of us cannot relate to physics, the shortest unit of time is the Yoctosecond, which is one septillionth (short scale) of a second.

A yoctosecond is smaller then a zeptosecond?

Yes


What is smaller a yoctosecond or a zeptosecond?

There are 1000 yoctoseconds in one zeptosecond. Therefore, a yoctosecond is oen thousandth the length of a zeptosecond. As of 2011, yocto- is the smallest SI prefix in use. yoctosecond means One septillionth (10 -24) of a second. zeptosecond means One sextillionth (10 -21) of a second

What is the smallest unit of second?

I'm not quite sure what the question means, exactly. If it's about the shortest fraction of a second that has a name, the answer is a "yoctosecond". That's 10-24 seconds.


Is there anything smaller than a second?

Units of time widely used in Physics and other branches of science and engineering include: -- millisecond -- microsecond -- nanosecond -- picosecond -- femtosecond -- yoctosecond

There are many of them. Here are a few: -- yoctosecond -- femtosecond -- picosecond -- nanosecond -- microsecond -- millisecond -- second -- minute -- hour -- day -- week -- fortnight -- year -- Century -- eon


It is said that light travels 2.9979x10-16 Meters in one Yoctosecond. How much is that in Nanometers?

To find how light travels in a nanometer, mulitply by 10-9 and that will give you the answer in nanometers per yoctosecond.After doing this calculation, you should get the answer you are looking for.
