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.
Planck Length
The Planck length is the smallest possible unit of length in the universe, approximately 1.6 x 10⁻³⁵ meters.
History/Origin
The Planck length is derived from fundamental physical constants and is named after the physicist Max Planck. It is a fundamental unit in the system of Planck units.
Current Use
The Planck length is a theoretical concept used in quantum gravity and cosmology to describe phenomena at the smallest scales of the universe.
