National Physical Laboratory of India is realized by using an absolute radiometer. For practical work, a group of tungsten incandescent lamps are used. The level of uncertainty is ± 1.3 × 10. Experimental work has been initiated to realize mole, the SI unit for amount of substance The NPL does not maintain standards of measurements for ionizing radiations. This is the responsibility of the Homi Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai. The standards maintained at NPL are periodically compared with standards maintained at other National Metrological Institutes in the world as well as the BIPM in Paris. This exercise ensures that Indian national standards are equivalent
Action (physics) in time and space. Action has the dimensions of [energy]⋅[time], and its SI unit is joule-second, which is identical to the unit of angular momentum. In classical physics, the term "action" has a number of meanings. Most commonly, the term is used for a functional formula_2 which takes a function of time and (for fields) space as input and returns a scalar. In classical mechanics, the input function is the evolution q("t") of the system between two times "t" and "t", where q represents the generalized coordinates. The action formula_3 is defined as the integral of the Lagrangian "L" for
