Convert femtosecond to seconds
Femtosecond
A femtosecond (fs) is a unit of time equal to 10⁻¹⁵ seconds, or one quadrillionth of a second. Femtosecond lasers are used to capture chemical bond dynamics and atomic motion in real time — a field known as femtochemistry, for which Ahmed Zewail was awarded the 1999 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The period of visible-light oscillations is on the order of a few femtoseconds.
Second
The second (symbol: s , abbreviation: sec ) is the base unit of time in the International System of Units (SI) (French: Système International d’unités), commonly understood and historically defined as 1/86400 of a day – this factor derived from the division of the day first into 24 hours, then to 60 minutes and finally to 60 seconds each. Analog clocks and watches often have sixty tick marks on their faces, representing seconds (and minutes), and a "second hand" to mark the passage of time in seconds. Digital clocks and watches often have a two-digit seconds counter. The second is also part of several other units of measurement like meters per second for velocity, meters per second per second for acceleration, and cycles per second for frequency.
