Electron radius (classical) fathom (US survey)

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.


Fathom (Us Survey)

A U.S. survey fathom is a unit of length equal to 6 U.S. survey feet.

History/Origin

The U.S. survey fathom is based on the U.S. survey foot, which was slightly different from the international foot. The use of survey units was officially phased out in 2022.

Current Use

The U.S. survey fathom was used in surveying in the United States.
