Second
The second is a unit of time representing the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium-133 atom.
History/Origin
The second was originally defined in 1956 based on Earth's rotation but was later redefined in 1967 based on the vibrations of the cesium-133 atom, making it a precise atomic time standard.
Current Use
The second is used universally in science, technology, and daily life to measure time intervals, coordinate universal time (UTC), and in various applications requiring precise timekeeping.
Quadrant
A quadrant is one of the four equal parts into which a circle is divided by its diameter, often used to measure angles in degrees from 0° to 90° within each part.
History/Origin
The concept of quadrants originates from ancient geometry and astronomy, where dividing circles into four parts helped in navigation and celestial observations. The term has been used since the 16th century in mathematical and navigational contexts.
Current Use
Today, quadrants are primarily used in mathematics, engineering, and navigation to measure and describe angles, especially in coordinate systems and trigonometry, without a specific unit symbol.
