How to Convert Attometer to Electron Radius (Classical)
1 am = 0.000354869118661751 r_e
Example: convert 15 am to r_e:
15 am = 15 × 0.000354869118661751 r_e = 0.00532303677992626 r_e
Attometer to Electron Radius (Classical) Conversion Table
| attometer | Electron radius (classical) |
|---|
Attometer
An attometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^-18 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "atto-" for 10^-18 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1964.
Current Use
The attometer is used in high-energy physics to describe the scales relevant to quarks and leptons.
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.
