1. Measurement of Time

2. Definition
 Time is fundamental aspect of physical world
 The standard unit of time is second
 1 second is the duration to cover 9,192,631,770
vibrations of the radiation relative to the transition
between two levels of ground state of Cesium-
133 atom

3. Time
 In India, standard time is authorized by NPL (
National Physical Laboratory) in New Delhi
 4 Cesium clocks are used in order to maintain the
standard time of India

4. Range of Time
 Time varies drastically at both macroscopic and
microscopic level
 Earlier people used to measure time with the help
of sun-dials and shadows

5. Conclusion
 Time can neither be created nor be destroyed as
it is an immortal property
 Scientists and researchers have also tried to
divide time in different small segments so that
people can do their work punctually and
effectively
