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.
Twip
A twip (twentieth of a point) is a unit of typographical measurement equal to 1/1440 of an inch.
History/Origin
The twip was invented by Microsoft as a device-independent unit for layout calculations in its software.
Current Use
The twip is used internally by some software programs for screen and print layout.
