Centimeter
A centimeter is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one-hundredth of a meter.
History/Origin
The prefix "centi-" comes from the Latin word "centum," meaning hundred. The centimeter was part of the original metric system established in France in 1795.
Current Use
The centimeter is a very common unit of measurement for everyday objects and is used in many fields, including science, engineering, and fashion.
Bohr Radius
The Bohr radius is the most probable distance between the proton and the electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state, 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. It is the atomic unit of length.
Current Use
The Bohr radius is a fundamental constant in atomic physics and is used to simplify calculations and equations.
