COMMENTS
In 1960, the meter was redefined in terms of a number of wavelengths of the orange-red spectral line in the electromagnetic radiation emanating from an excited atom of krypton-86.
Since 1983, it has been defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 seconds. - Jon Perry, Oct 18 2014
