Convert femtometer to Bohr radius
Please provide values below to convert femtometer [fm] to Bohr radius [a.u.], or Convert Bohr radius to femtometer.
1 fm = 1.88972612463e-05 a.u.. To convert femtometer to Bohr radius, multiply the value by 1.88972612463e-05; to go the other way, divide by it (1 a.u. = 52917.7210903 fm). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

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.
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.
