Electron radius (classical) decimeter

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.


Decimeter

A decimeter is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one-tenth of a meter.

History/Origin

The prefix "deci-" comes from the Latin word "decimus," meaning tenth. The decimeter was part of the original metric system adopted in France in 1795.

Current Use

The decimeter is not as commonly used in everyday life as other metric units like the centimeter or meter, but it is sometimes used in technical and scientific contexts.
