Mil
A mil, also known as a thou, is a unit of length equal to one-thousandth of an inch.
History/Origin
The mil was introduced in the 19th century as a convenient unit for fine measurements in engineering and manufacturing.
Current Use
The mil is still used in some manufacturing and engineering contexts, particularly in the United States, for specifying the thickness of materials like paper and wire.
Electron Radius (Classical)
The classical electron radius is a quantity with the dimension of length, approximately 2.82 x 10⁻¹⁵ meters.
History/Origin
The classical electron radius is a concept from classical physics that attempts to model the electron as a spherical shell of charge. It is not considered the actual size of an electron.
Current Use
The classical electron radius appears in the Thomson scattering cross-section and is a useful length scale in atomic and high-energy physics.
