A.u. Of Length
The atomic unit of length, also known as the Bohr radius (a₀), is 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 where the electron orbits the nucleus at specific distances. The Bohr radius is the most probable distance between the proton and electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state.
Current Use
The atomic unit of length is used in atomic physics to simplify calculations and equations.
Link
A link, specifically Gunter's link, is a unit of length equal to 7.92 inches, or 1/100 of a chain.
History/Origin
The link is part of Gunter's chain, a surveying tool invented by Edmund Gunter in the 17th century.
Current Use
The link is an obsolete unit of measurement, but may be found in old land surveys.
