X-Unit
An X-unit is a unit of length approximately equal to 1.002 x 10⁻¹³ meters.
History/Origin
The X-unit was proposed by the Swedish physicist Manne Siegbahn in 1919 for measuring the wavelengths of X-rays and gamma rays.
Current Use
The X-unit has been largely replaced by the angstrom and the picometer.
Fathom
A fathom is a unit of length equal to 6 feet, used especially for measuring the depth of water.
History/Origin
The term "fathom" comes from the Old English word "fæthm," meaning "outstretched arms," as the distance was originally the span of a man's outstretched arms.
Current Use
The fathom is still used in nautical applications, especially in the United States, to measure water depth. It is also used in commercial fishing to measure the length of lines.
