    In defining the standard of length, (the prototype metre), we have to specify the temperature at which the measurement should be made. Are we justified in calling length a fundamental quantity, if another physical quantity (temperature) has to be specified in choosing a standard?

    Answer:

                      Yes, the choice of length as a fundamental quantity is justified. The modem definition of metre in terms of wavelength of light radiation is not affected by temperature.
