The New SI system and the Definition of Frequency

ORAL · Invited

Abstract

I will present the definitions of the fundamental constants in the new SI system, and I will discuss the differences between the new and old systems. I will also discuss the definitions of frequency, especially angular frequency, which is usually specified in radians/s and the Hz, which is commonly used to specify frequencies in engineering and physics. This will lead naturally to the question, should 2π have units?
