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.
Nautical Mile (International)
The international nautical mile is a unit of length used in marine and air navigation, defined as exactly 1,852 meters.
History/Origin
Historically, a nautical mile was defined as one minute of arc of latitude. The international nautical mile was defined by the First International Extraordinary Hydrographic Conference in Monaco in 1929. The United States adopted it in 1954, and the United Kingdom in 1970.
Current Use
The nautical mile is used for maritime and aviation purposes worldwide.
