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.
Yard
A yard is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement, equal to 3 feet or 36 inches.
History/Origin
The origin of the yard is uncertain, but it is believed to have been derived from the length of a man's belt or girdle. The yard was standardized as part of the English (and later British Imperial) system of units.
Current Use
The yard is commonly used for measuring land, in some sports like American football and golf, and for selling fabric.
