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.



Megaparsec


A megaparsec (Mpc) is a unit of distance used in astronomy to measure vast stretches across the universe. One megaparsec equals one million parsecs, or about 3.26 million light-years (1 Mpc ≈ 3.086 × 10¹⁹ kilometers). This unit is commonly used when discussing the distances between galaxies, galaxy clusters, or large-scale structures of the universe. Because the universe is so massive, astronomers need units like megaparsecs to express distances that are too large for even light-years to handle efficiently. The megaparsec is essential in cosmology and is often used when describing the scale of the observable universe.
