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.
Nautical Mile (Uk)
The UK nautical mile, or Admiralty mile, was defined as 6,080 feet.
History/Origin
The British Admiralty defined its nautical mile as a thousandth of an imperial nautical mile. The UK adopted the international nautical mile of 1,852 meters in 1970.
Current Use
The UK nautical mile is an obsolete unit.
