Description and Table of Contents
Description
Fundamental physical constants are used throughout the world by scientists and technologists in the course of every kind of theoretical and experimental research work. The book examines the present state of the measurement arts, and gives indications of likely future developments.
This comprehensive and stimulating volume will certainly become a standard reference work in the field of measurement science for physicists, metrologists and workers in other physical science disciplines where a high accuracy of measurement is required.
Table of Contents
The fundamental constants, their evolution and accuracy. The constants as natural units: are they constant? The fundamental constants and the units of length, mass, the mole and temperature. The electrically related fundamental constants. Dimensionless and constants whose roles have changed. The gravitational constants G and g. Some important null experiments. Experimental uncertainties and the evaluation of the "best values". Appendix. References. Index.
