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.
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.
