The distance is nevertheless the accepted standard of length for all scientific as well as for many commercial purposes.
Even if the meter had been the desired fraction of the earth's quadrant it would not have been a derived unit but merely a submultiple of an arbitrarily chosen length. The choice of a ten-millionth as the sub- multiple made a unit of convenient size, a matter of 39.37 inches or about 10 per cent more than our familiar imit of the yard. Of course, one idea in basing the length... of the unit on that of the earth's surface was to obtainaimit which would be permanent and reproducible without reference to a standard if the latter were de- stroyed. A more logical choice of imit could be made Digitized by LjOOQIC SOME USES OF MATHEMATICS 123 to-day as a result of our greater knowledge of physical magnitudes. A secondary standard was suggested by Michelson/ the recipient in 1907 of the Nobel prize.
He suggested the wave length of light, choosing for that pxupose the red light emitted by cadmiimi vapor when an electrical discharge passes through it.
