A.u. Of Length
The atomic unit of length, also known as the Bohr radius (a₀), is approximately 5.29 x 10⁻¹¹ meters.
History/Origin
The Bohr radius is named after Niels Bohr, who proposed a model of the atom in 1913 where the electron orbits the nucleus at specific distances. The Bohr radius is the most probable distance between the proton and electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state.
Current Use
The atomic unit of length is used in atomic physics to simplify calculations and equations.
X-Unit
An X-unit is a unit of length approximately equal to 1.002 x 10⁻¹³ meters.
History/Origin
The X-unit was proposed by the Swedish physicist Manne Siegbahn in 1919 for measuring the wavelengths of X-rays and gamma rays.
Current Use
The X-unit has been largely replaced by the angstrom and the picometer.
