Convert a.u. of length to femtometer
Please provide values below to convert a.u. of length [a.u., b] to femtometer [fm], or Convert femtometer to a.u. of length.
1 a.u., b = 52917.7249 fm. To convert a.u. of length to femtometer, multiply the value by 52917.7249; to go the other way, divide by it (1 fm = 1.88972598858e-05 a.u., b). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

A.u. Of Length
The atomic unit of length, also known as the Bohr radius (a₀), is 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 where the electron orbits the nucleus at specific distances. The Bohr radius is the most probable distance between the proton and electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state.
Current Use
The atomic unit of length is used in atomic physics to simplify calculations and equations.
Femtometer
A femtometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^-15 meters. It is also known as a fermi.
History/Origin
The prefix "femto-" for 10^-15 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1964. The unit is also named after the physicist Enrico Fermi.
Current Use
The femtometer is primarily used in nuclear physics to measure the size of atomic nuclei.
