Bohr Radius

The Bohr radius is a fundamental physical constant that represents the average distance between the nucleus and the electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state, according to the Bohr model of the atom.

• 
  

  Its value is approximately 5.29177 × 10⁻¹¹ meters (about 0.529 angstroms).

  
  
• 
  

  Named after physicist Niels Bohr, who introduced the model in 1913.

  
  
• 
  

  It sets a natural length scale in atomic physics and quantum mechanics.

  
  
• 
  

  Used to describe atomic sizes and electron orbitals.

  
  

Key facts:

• 
  

  Bohr radius ≈ 5.29 × 10⁻¹¹ m

  
  
• 
  

  Represents the typical size of a hydrogen atom’s electron orbit

  
  
• 
  

  Fundamental to quantum physics and atomic structure

  
  

The Bohr radius is essential for understanding atomic dimensions and quantum behavior of electrons.

Famn

A famn (also spelled fathom in English) is a traditional Scandinavian unit of length used primarily for measuring the depth of water or length of ropes and cables. It is roughly equivalent to 6 Swedish feet, which translates to about 1.828 meters (approximately 6 feet).

The famn is similar in concept to the English fathom, based on the span of outstretched arms.

While largely obsolete today, the famn was commonly used in maritime contexts in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark and remains part of historical measurements.
