Examples

1

Consider that a laser pulse in a scientific experiment lasts 50 picoseconds.
Convert this time from picoseconds to Seconds.

Answer:

Given:

The time in picoseconds is:

Time(Picoseconds) = 50

Formula:

The formula to convert time from picoseconds to seconds is:

Time(Seconds) = Time(Picoseconds) × 1e-12

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Time(Picoseconds) = 50 in the above formula.

Time(Seconds) = 50 × 1e-12

Time(Seconds) = 5e-11

Final Answer:

Therefore, 50 ps is equal to 5e-11 s.

The time is 5e-11 s, in seconds.

2

Consider that a reaction in a chemical process is initiated in 30 picoseconds.
Convert this time from picoseconds to Seconds.

Answer:

Given:

The time in picoseconds is:

Time(Picoseconds) = 30

Formula:

The formula to convert time from picoseconds to seconds is:

Time(Seconds) = Time(Picoseconds) × 1e-12

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Time(Picoseconds) = 30 in the above formula.

Time(Seconds) = 30 × 1e-12

Time(Seconds) = 3e-11

Final Answer:

Therefore, 30 ps is equal to 3e-11 s.

The time is 3e-11 s, in seconds.

Picoseconds

A picosecond is one-trillionth of a second, a unit of time used in ultra-fast scientific measurements and technologies. Picoseconds are significant in studying molecular dynamics, laser physics, and high-speed chemical reactions. They allow scientists to observe and measure events that happen on timescales far shorter than a nanosecond.

Seconds

The second is the fundamental unit of time, often considered the building block of more extended periods. It is defined as the time it takes for a specific number of vibrations of a cesium atom (9,192,631,770 to be precise). Seconds are crucial in everyday life, used to measure short durations and split more extended periods into manageable parts. From tracking the time during a race to counting down for a rocket launch, the second is essential in both everyday and scientific contexts.
