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.
Hand
A hand is a unit of length equal to 4 inches.
History/Origin
The hand was originally the width of a man's hand, including the thumb. It was standardized to 4 inches for measuring the height of horses.
Current Use
The hand is still used today to measure the height of horses.
