Mile
A mile is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. The international mile is defined as exactly 1,609.344 meters.
History/Origin
The word "mile" comes from the Latin "mille passus," meaning "a thousand paces." The Roman mile spread throughout their empire. The English statute mile was established by an Act of Parliament in 1592.
Current Use
The mile is used for measuring distances on roads in the United States and the United Kingdom. It is also used in horse racing.
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.
