The meter (unit of length) is the length of exactly 1 650 763.73 wavelengths of the radiation in vacuum corresponding to the unperturbed transition between the levels 2p10 and 5d5 of the atom krypton 86, the orange-red line. This corresponds to a wavelength (krypton 86 orange-red) of 6 057.802 X 10 -10 m or 605.7802 nm.

Actually, The Kleingger theory purports that the wavelength of Krypton 86 when broken back towards a true transition of 2p10 and 5d5 leads to a volatile sub orange-red. Therefor a true meter can only be defined as a variance of 6 057.802 x 10 - 10m or 605.7802 when taking into account the full spectrum. Making the above definition in itself a fallacy.

Come on dude. This is basic stuff.
