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.
Caliber
Caliber is a unit of length used to describe the internal diameter of a firearm barrel, typically expressed in hundredths or thousandths of an inch.
History/Origin
The term "caliber" has been used for centuries to describe the size of cannons and firearms.
Current Use
Caliber is the standard unit for designating the bore of firearms in many countries, including the United States.
