Ratios
The numerical values adopted by the CGPM[36] are identical to the published CODATA 2017 values.[37]
Following the successful 1983 redefinition of the metre in terms of an exact numerical value for the speed of light, the BIPM's Consultative Committee for Units (CCU) recommended and the BIPM proposed that four further constants of nature should be defined to have exact values. These are:[Note 5]
The Planck constant h is exactly 6.62607015e−34 joule-second (J⋅s).
The elementary charge e is exactly 1.602176634e−19 coulomb (C).
The Boltzmann constant k is exactly 1.380649e−23 joule per kelvin (J⋅K−1).
The Avogadro constant NA is exactly 6.02214076e23 reciprocal mole (mol−1).
The redefinition retains unchanged the numerical values associated with the following constants of nature:
The speed of light c is exactly 299792458 metres per second (m⋅s−1);
The ground state hyperfine structure transition frequency of the caesium-133 atom ΔνCs is exactly 9192631770 hertz (Hz);
The luminous efficacy of monochromatic radiation of frequency 5.40×1014 Hz (540 THz) – a frequency of green-colored light at approximately the peak sensitivity of the human eye – Kcd (where the subscript "cd" is the symbol for candela) is exactly 683 lumens per watt (lm⋅W−1).
The seven SI defining constants above, expressed in terms of derived units (joule, coulomb, hertz, lumen, and watt), are rewritten below in terms of the seven base units (second, metre, kilogram, ampere, kelvin, mole, and candela);[4] the dimensionless unit steradian (symbol sr) is also used:
ΔνCs = Δν(133Cs)hfs = 9192631770 s−1
c = 299792458 m⋅s−1
h = 6.62607015e−34 kg⋅m2⋅s−1
e = 1.602176634e−19 A⋅s
k = 1.380649e−23 kg⋅m2⋅K−1⋅s−2
NA = 6.02214076e23 mol−1
Kcd = 683 cd⋅sr⋅s3⋅kg−1⋅m−2
As part of the redefinition, the International Prototype of the Kilogram was retired and definitions of the kilogram, the ampere, and the kelvin were replaced. The definition of the mole was revised. These changes have the effect of redefining the SI base units, though the definitions of the SI derived units in terms of the base units remain the same.
