Candela unit, the "candela". In 1967 the 13th CGPM removed the term "new candle" and gave an amended version of the candela definition, specifying the atmospheric pressure applied to the freezing platinum: The candela is the luminous intensity, in the perpendicular direction, of a surface of square metre of a black body at the temperature of freezing platinum under a pressure of newtons per square metre. In 1979, because of the difficulties in realizing a Planck radiator at high temperatures and the new possibilities offered by radiometry, the 16th CGPM adopted the modern definition of the candela. The arbitrary (1/683) term
Banach measure Banach measure In mathematics, Banach measure in measure theory may mean a real-valued function on an algebra of all subsets of a set (for example, all subsets of the plane), by means of which a rigid, finitely additive area can be defined for every set, even when a set does not have a true geometric area. That is, this is a type of generalized measure getting around the phenomenon of non-measurable sets. However, as the Vitali set shows, it cannot be countably additive. A Banach measure on a set Ω is a finite measure μ ≠ 0 on P(Ω), the
