Furlong
A furlong is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems, equal to one-eighth of a mile, 220 yards, or 660 feet.
History/Origin
The name "furlong" derives from the Old English words "furh" (furrow) and "lang" (long), originally referring to the length of a furrow in one acre of a ploughed open field.
Current Use
Today, the furlong is primarily used in horse racing to state the length of races.
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.
