Dekameter
A dekameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "deka-" from the Greek "deka" meaning ten, was part of the original metric system adopted in France in 1795.
Current Use
The dekameter is rarely used in practice. It is sometimes used in meteorology to measure altitude.
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.
