1 X = 35.5607246428567 r_e
Example: convert 15 X to r_e:
15 X = 15 × 35.5607246428567 r_e = 533.410869642851 r_e
X-Unit to Electron Radius (Classical) Conversion Table
| X-unit | Electron radius (classical) |
|---|
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.
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.
