Gamma
Gamma is a unit of mass used in the context of the 'Weight and Mass' converter, typically representing a gram or a related measure.
History/Origin
The term 'gamma' originates from the Greek letter gamma, historically used in various scientific contexts to denote small quantities of mass or radiation. Its use as a unit of mass has been more common in older or specialized scientific literature.
Current Use
Today, 'gamma' is rarely used as a standard unit of mass; instead, grams are the standard. However, 'gamma' may still appear in specific scientific fields or historical references related to mass measurement.
Electron Mass (Rest)
The electron mass (rest) is the invariant mass of an electron, approximately 9.10938356 × 10⁻³¹ kilograms, representing the mass of an electron at rest.
History/Origin
The electron mass was first measured in the early 20th century through experiments involving cathode rays and later refined with advancements in particle physics, establishing it as a fundamental constant in physics.
Current Use
The electron mass is used in calculations involving atomic and subatomic physics, quantum mechanics, and in defining units related to particle properties, such as in the 'Weight and Mass' converter for scientific and educational purposes.
